1000 THE PLEDGE MALBEC ARGENTINA 750ML

"This is a very striking malbec with an intense, focused feel from the get-go. The nose has a wealth of ripe red berries and plums and the palate offers a succulent, juicy and flavorful style with good focus and concentration. Drink or hold.". Vinous - "A Malbec from the Uco Valley with grapes from different vineyards, aged for 24 months in a medley of barrels of varying experience. Overseen by Swiss oenologist Richard Bonvin, it presents a balsamic nose of thyme and plum with hints of wood, wax, and a touch of jam. Juicy in the mouth, offering gentle tannins and a little extract. Concentrated without being overbearing, it flows well and is full of flavor. An old-fashioned take on the Uco Valley.". Wine Enthusiast - "Ripe, earthy berry aromas are on the savory and leathery side, while this pulls inward on the palate due to racy acidity. Tangy berry and black plum flavors are lightly herbal, while this doesn't show a lot besides mild oak on a long finish driven by perky acidity."
