There is also a 2016 Malbec that is super floral, and fruit driven, with a sense of warmth and juiciness, quite opposite to a mineral wine. The vineyards are high in altitude, but there is a very cold wind coming up from the ocean plus a cold one coming down from the mountains too. The grapes are really ripe, and the grapes are harvested really late, so they are heady and high in alcohol, round, lush and textured. The wines I tasted had pungent flavors and very marked varietal aromas and characteristics.
