This Malbec offers a deep purple color with violet tints, complex plum, fig, strawberry, spices and floral aromas. Rounded and velvety tannins, excellent length with a distinguished character - an incredible value.
Excellent when paired with game, roasted red meats, pasta or pizza.
"Blackberries, blueberries, violated, and peppery herb notes all emerge from the 2017 Malbec. It’s medium-bodied, has a charming, rounded, fruit-loaded style, and is another terrific value under this label. Made from 100% Malbec that spent three months in 10% American oak, it’s a high-quality house red to drink over the coming 2-4 years."

"The 2015 Lexicon Malbec, which is 100% Malbec, is slightly better, showing more floral character in the deep blackberry and cassis-scented nose, a saturated ruby/purple color, velvety texture and lush medium-bodied flavors with light, silky tannin."
