About This Wine


Cien por Ciento

Malbec

Drinking a complex wine can be a heady experience. With the fruit forward flavors mellowing into the background, you can discover tastes that aren’t often associated with wine. The new Malbec from Cien Por Ciento starts with a deep color and rich texture. The notes of plum, blackberry, and black cherry dance on the tongue, but are followed by notes that make this wine a true delight to drink. We get rich notes of pepper, dark chocolate, and hints of savory, roast game. There’s something earthy and wild about the flavors, but the part that holds it all together is an intense graphite minerality that plays off the firm structure. It makes the wine a blend of unique flavors that are a delight to sip. Judges love it too and sent it home from the 2019 Texas International Wine Competition, the 2019 Toast of the Coast Wine Competition, the 2019 San Diego International Wine & Spirits Challenge, and the 2019 Winemaker Challenge with a Silver medal!

Wine Region


Argentina

Winemaking in Argentina is all about altitude. Many of its most prominent vineyards are situated at elevations exceeding 2,000 feet, where the cool nights help grapes retain zingy acidity while reaching full juicy ripeness. Probably best known for its flagship red grape Malbec, Argentina has become a South American enological powerhouse. The rich dark fruit flavor and smooth chocolate finish have made Malbec a global favorite. Along with its bold reds, Argentina is also known for aromatic white wines such as the peachy, floral Torrontés. International favorites like Chardonnay, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon also grow well in Argentina's high, dry soil.

  • A figure representing the Blackberry tasting note. Blackberry

This wine has notes of plum, blackberry, and black cherry, but we love the rich and peppery notes of dark chocolate and savory roasted game in the background of this complex Malbec. What holds the entire wine together is an intense graphite minerality that holds the structure together.
