Natalie's Score: 93/100

Trapiche Medalla 2018 Malbec is a vegan-friendly 100% Malbec produced from grapes sourced from the Luján de Cuyo and Maipú. Look for ripe and stewed plum, dark berry fruits, white pepper and toasty oak spice flavours finishing on a balsamic note. Tannins are rich. A good cellaring candidate for up to 5 years. Drink or hold.

Malbec food pairings: grilled flank steak, pork roast, grilled root vegetables.

Reviews and Ratings

Trent Mayers rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Malbec from Argentina varies from medium bodied, moderately hued with red fruits to full bodied and dark showing black fruits. This red from Mendoza's Luján de Cuyo and Maipú definitely falls in the latter camp. Expect a dry, savoury wine with intense blackberry, cassis, tobacco leaf, cedar, spice, vanilla, and plum compote supported by mellow, but noticeable, tannins. It’s an excellent example of Malbec that would complement grilled meats and vegetables, particularly Carne Asada.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
