Tasting note

Americans Charles Bieler, Roger Scommegna and Joel Gott are the 3 Thieves Wine Company and the folks behind The Show Malbec. The fruit is all high-altitude from Lujan de Cuyo and the Uco Valley and in 2012, it looks as if they have abandoned the sweet oaky style for something much more interesting. Let us hope they don't go back. Drier, more savoury red fruit with good acidity and texture. Far more food-friendly and, while it doesn't really matter, a sensational label. The classic match, steak, is the fit. Score - 89. (Anthony Gismondi, The Vancouver Sun, April 11, 2014)

Dark fruit, spice and toasty oak lead to a round mid-palate and long finish

The Show Malbec is a delicious wine with flavors of blackberry, cranberry, white pepper and spice, with toasty vanilla and violets. The wine has smooth tannins, a velvety texture and a long, lingering finish.
