Known for its big, bold flavors and supple texture, Malbec is most famous for its runaway success in?Argentina. However, the variety actually originated in?Bordeaux, where it historically contributed color and tannin to blends. After being nearly wiped out by a devastating frost in 1956, it was never significantly replanted, although it continued to flourish under the name C?t in nearby?Cahors. A French agronomist who saw great potential for the variety in?Mendoza?s?hot, high-altitude landscape, brought Malbec to Argentina in 1868. But it did not gain its current reputation as the country’s national grape until a surge in popularity in the late 20th century.

Tasting Notes
Dark, rich and complex, Don Miguel Gascon Reserva Malbec is a powerful, yet fresh, wine. An elegant nose features hints of violet, blackberry and blackcurrants, with subtle aromas of chocolate mint. The wine is robust and strong on the palate, with smooth tannins and distinctive layers of dried plum, dates and cherry flavors that integrate seamlessly with notes of almond and hazelnut, backed up by a long and velvety-smooth finish.
