Luca 2023 Uco Valley Old Vine Malbec

$ 3499

Tasting Notes

Luca 2023 Uco Valley Old Vine Malbec opens with spice and black cherry cola aromas layered with cocoa, followed by a palate where berry flavors burst with depth and lively acidity, finishing on subtle notes of espresso. Another perspective highlights crushed berries, rich dark fruit, and a hint of rosemary, supported by gripping tannins, vibrant acidity, and a distinctive chalky texture that carries into a long, refined finish.

This vintage pairs beautifully with venison, wild game, steak, pork, quail, all styles of lamb, and medium‑strong cheeses, where its acidity and tannin structure complement both rich proteins and earthy flavors.
