2013 MATIAS RICCITELLI VINEYARD SELECTION MALBEC

$55.00

Every great winemaker has at least one mentor that helped guide them in their career. When your father is the head-winemaker at Bodegas Norton, and the first South American to ever be named Winemaker of the Year by Wine Enthusiast magazine, it can come with a few advantages… Matias Riccitelli had both the connections and the drive to spend a decade working 2 harvests each year, one in Argentina, and the others in New Zealand, Napa Valley, Europe and Australia. During that time he soaked up every bit of winemaking knowledge in order to achieve his goal of creating a brand that could express the full potential of Argentine terroir.

Carved from exceptional vines ranging 20-80 years in age and grown in Perdriel and Vistalba in the Lujan de Cuyo and El Cepillo in La Consulta, Riccitelli’s 2013 Vineyard Selection Malbec is stunningly complex and loaded with hedonistic aromas of dark black fruits, scorched earth, blue violets, licorice and hints of wild game.

Friendly Heads-Up: Wine Market Analysis 2019- Vinous is super tight on ratings right now.. not sure why, but I haven’t seen hardly any scores over 92-93 recently from them… and I’m talking about wines in the $100-$300 range as well… this could be a Market Adjustment, because a few years ago we would sell-out instantly with any wine over 90-points… something to sip on 🙂 Ah, SALUD!

2013 MATIAS RICCITELLI VINEYARD SELECTION MALBEC

From Vinous, “(made from three small vineyards in Luján de Cuyo and Uco Valley): Bright medium ruby. Showing more balsamic cedar and herbs on the nose than the 2014 The Apple . . . Malbec; plenty ripe but less dark-fruity and chocolatey and more minty and herbal… this intensely flavored wine is much less sweet than The Apple, with its currant and blackberry flavors complemented by a saline quality and nicely framed by healthy acidity. A bit less forthcoming, drier and more classic on the end, showing suaver tannins.” 89 Points
