Trapiche Iscay Malbec & Cabernet Franc 2017 has been selected No.1 of the Top 100 WINES OF ARGENTINA 2021 by James Suckling! Congratulations!

From James Suckling:

"Don’t be surprised that the malbec-cabernet franc blend Trapiche Malbec Cabernet Franc Mendoza Iscay 2017 came out ahead of all the other 1,800 wines we tasted from Argentina this year. The quality of this Mendoza winery’s premium bottling has been incredibly consistent year after year, with each vintage scoring 95 points and above over the last decade. We decided to push it to center stage this year, with its sublime quality and superb value (about $50 bottle) showcasing everything that is right with Argentine wines.

This deep, tight and textured red with spicy fruit and an herbal lift rightfully explains how the melange of malbec and cabernet franc has become so popular in the high-altitude vineyards of Mendoza. Intuitively, malbec unleashes color and flesh, and cabernet franc knits the rich components with fibrous tension and savory character."
