Finca Sophenia has been consistently crafting some of our favorite wines in all of South America. It seems like each release gets better than the last and that is no different with today's offer!
The Estate Reserva Malbec hails from one of the most prestigious vineyard sites in all of Mendoza, Gualtallary. This is all estate fruit of the utmost quality that is hand-picked and selected for this bottling.
Today's offer shows the Finca Sophenia trademark style with fresh fruit, subtle oak and a remarkably smooth mouthfeel. This is an absolute rockstar of a wine and we can see why Wine Spectator felt the need to include this in its Top 100 list last November!
"Intense ruby color with violet notes. On the nose, fresh red fruits stand out with a marked floral presence, perfectly harmonized with the contribution of aromas of spices, cocoa and vanilla given its passage through oak, giving it complexity. The sensation in the mouth is smooth with sweet and velvety tannins and a wide mouth with a long finish." -Winery
"Elegant and refined, showing pepper bush, mountain herb and river stone aromas amid a fresh cherry and berry core, which shows minerally richness and lengthens nicely around the core flavors and fine tannins. Drink now through 2030. 15,000 cases made, 3,000 cases imported. -AR" - 92 Points Wine Spectator and #46 on WS Top 100 of 2023
