Piedra Negra

This is the wine that Piedra Negra produces the most liters of—around 300,000—which is no small thing for the quality and character it offers. One of the advantages is that it is 100% from their own vineyards in the Los Chacayes area in the Uco Valley, a place that produces this type of wild red wines with sharp textures. In addition, the fruit here is delicious, refreshing, red, and radiant. A bargain, and one of the best values for money in malbec in Argentina today.

The nose of this simple red is austere. Hints of black fruit show on the lean palate and fade quickly on the short finish.
