Riccitelli 'Vineyard Selection' Malbec 2018

95 POINTS: James Suckling
94 POINTS: Vinous Media

"Blackberry, crushed-stone, lavender and iodine aromas follow through to a medium to full body with very refined, polished tannins that provide balance and refinement. Such purity and beauty. Beautiful old-vine malbec. Subtle is the word to describe this."
- James Suckling

"The 2018 Malbec Viejos Viñedos En Pie Franco is made with grapes from Las Compuertas and Vistalba, Luján de Cuyo and aged for 16 months in French
barrels. A terroir-focused red, the expression is precisely judged, offering ripe plum with hints of white pepper and cherry over a bed of violets and oak. In
the mouth, it offers muscle without pressing too hard, a broad, voluminous flow and well-judged freshness that ensures a long finish in which the fruit takes
charge. Will improve in the bottle."

ABV: 14.5%

Bubblicious

Delicious white wines!

I haven’t tried every bottle in this selection yet, however, so far they are all very tasty. I’m a Chardonnay lover, always on the look out for a dryish not sweet wine and these are just right for me. An excellent mixed case and we’ll priced.

Rich and fruity

This was a very nice surprise in Wine Direct’s very welcome Plenty Under $20 category. Beautifully fruity, rich and smooth. Often the Plenty Under $20 range is a little light for the depth I like but I will definitely be reordering this one.

A great summer wine… elegant and a fine balance of lighter fruit and delicate acidity with a nice dry finish. Very drinkable with or without food. A nice change from our usual unoaked French Chardonnay

Delicious light, crisp unoaked wine with citrus notes. Perfect summer wine … very drinkable with or without food.
