TERRAZAS 'RESERVA' MALBEC 2022, Mendoza

The mountain spices really come through on the finish, and the violet notes give it a lovely lift. Paired it with a simple steak and it was a perfect match for the blackberry and plum flavors.

Opened this with some grilled lamb and the blackberry and plum really carried the meal, while that cold-climate mountain spice gave it an unexpected lift. It’s bold but not heavy, and the violet note lingers just enough to make the next sip feel fresh.

That first sip was a punch of blackberry and plum, just like the description promises. The finish has a subtle violet note that lingers nicely, making it a great choice for a cozy weeknight dinner.
