Natalie's Score: 91/100

From world renown wine producers, Ann Sperling and Peter Gamble, Versado 2017 is a full-bodied and spicy Argentinean Malbec from the Luján De Cuyo, Mendoza wine region. The 2017 growing season was somewhat drier than 2016 and this fresh and savoury Malbec is showing concentrated flavours of dark plum compote, dark berry, earthy, anise and savoury on the palate. There was very little handling of the wine which was wild fermented in concrete vats and with some aging in older French oak barrels. Drink or hold.

Malbec food pairings: marinated steaks, beef stews, grilled sausages.
