Mendel’s 2021 Malbec delivers a deep, expressive nose of blackberries, violets, plum compote, and a touch of mocha, framed by subtle notes of spice and dried herbs. On the palate, it shows the hallmark richness of high‑quality Mendoza Malbec—lush dark fruit, polished tannins, and a vibrant lift that keeps the wine fresh rather than heavy. While Malbec is the primary varietal, the wine may include a small percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon or Petit Verdot to enhance structure and aromatic complexity, resulting in a long, harmonious finish with hints of cocoa and mineral undertones. This vintage pairs beautifully with grilled steaks, braised short ribs, empanadas, roasted vegetables, and dishes featuring smoky or savory elements, as the wine’s depth and acidity complement both hearty and subtly spiced foods.
