The 2025 RUTA 36 Malbec captures the bold spirit of Mendoza, Argentina, where high-altitude vineyards at the foothills of the Andes give Malbec its signature depth and balance. Warm, sunny days build rich concentration while cool mountain nights preserve freshness, resulting in a dry, medium-bodied red layered with dark plum, strawberry, and blackberry flavors, accented by notes of vanilla and warming spice. Smooth yet expressive, this is a natural match for grilled steaks, smoky ribs, and hearty stews.
