Tilia Malbec 2018

James Suckling 90
This has rich, ripe plum and dark-cherry aromas and flavors with a fine weave of tannins that offer a fresh, juicy resolve. Drink now. Screw cap.

Aromas of black cherries and plums are accompanied by notes of violets and vanilla. On the palate the wine is rich and full-bodied with flavors of juicy blackberries, cranberries, and black currants abound, followed by notes of vanilla and sweet spice.
Pair this Malbec with a meat dish that mirrors its tangy berry flavors like cranberry pot roast or roast duck with sour cherry sauce.

Made at Bodegas Esmeralda, Tilia has been handcrafted to demonstrate true varietal character. The brand is named after the Tilia (Linden) tree commonly found throughout Argentina's wine country. Vineyard workers often make tea from the flowers of this tree and enjoy time sitting in the shade after a hard day's work. These wines are a tribute to those workers and to the Argentinean way of living life to the fullest, enjoying every moment and relaxing in the natural environment the land provides. These inviting selections are approachable, affordable and filled with layers of flavor.
