Our powerful boldest premium reds, dark, age-worthy wines of substance. Regardless of their grape, these heavyweights are barrel-aged and quite concentrated in flavor.

FOOD PAIRING: These big reds perform best with rich, high-protein foods such as AGED CHEESES & RED MEATS and work brilliantly with RICHER, BOLDER SAUCES too.

Description

For Jean-Charles Boisset, wine transports you to RICH new worlds and far off places. While DARK and enticing upon first glance, our N° 68 Malbec is JUICY and satisfying, a true journey for the senses.

Tasting Notes
Aroma: 

A full and luxurious red wine, this 2018 Malbec offers fresh aromas of blackberry, nutmeg, and chocolate.

Palate: 

On the palate flavors of black plum, espresso, and boysenberry are complemented by traces of sandalwood. Savory with dark fruit on the profile, this gorgeous wine has graceful, refined tannins, and an exhilarating finish.

Winemaking
Vintage Notes: 

In 1868 a new grape from Old World France was brought across the treacherous seas to the New World in Argentina: Malbec. This foray into the New World brought about new chances for creative expression and passion to arise and be celebrated. In the same way, Jean-Charles ventured across the ocean to ignite his creative passions and to craft exquisite wines that unite the Old and New worlds.
