IT'S ALL IN THE DETAILS

This is one of the best bottlings of this I have had with dark-berry, dark-tea and slate character on the nose and palate. Full-to medium-bodied, tight, and finely tanned. Solid finish.

This deep purple–hued, woodsy, earthy red exudes aromas of boysenberries and dried figs. Dusty tannins align with baker’s chocolate on the palate as fine acidity lifts the structure with reined-in power

Produced in sizeable volumes to a commendably consistent style, Medalla is made with fruit from the Primera Zona regions of Agrelo, Lunlunta, Perdriel, and Ugarteche. Plush, aromatic, and wonderfully easy to drink, it has bramble and blueberry fruit and scented oak. 2019-23

The fruit-driven and varietal 2016 Medalla Malbec was juicy, varietal and classical, easy to drink, approachable and tasty. This might not be terribly complex but it's really pleasant. And it seems to have the extra freshness that I was missing in previous years... 150,000 bottles produced.
