If you love big reds, full bodied, opulent, rich at a helluva price, Go No Further! From a top vintage with time in the bottle. Mendoza Argentina and the Malbec grape is one of the favorite wine regions for savvy wine lovers and critics in the world. Todays wine is a hard core big red that at our price if it were from California, France or Italy would be double to three times the price. This is not some critter wine from Argentina or a wine that some huge international wine company slapped a slapped a label on the bottle because it is Malbec (Bordeaux grape like Cabernet) from Argentina and they new it would sell. This wine comes from one of the oldest wineries in Mendoza respected worldwide, from distinguished sweet spot Lujan de Cuyo, made from ancient vines and with huge press 93pts Suckling, 92pts Vinous.

This is a whole lot of red wine for very little amount of money. Argentina has now proven itself for making some of the greatest big reds in the world and they can do so at prices way below other countries. This voluptuous powerhouse is brought to us by the Pescarmona family who have owned the 120 year old Lagarde Estate since 1969. Made from grapes planted in 1906 and old vines make the best red wine. Aged 100% in French oak barrels the 2020 Lagarde Guarda Malbec is full and rich with superb concentration but it still maintains the excellent balance that Lagarde is famous for and why they get such huge scores. When did you last see a big red get 92 pts by Vinous, made from plus 100 year old vines thats $21.99. I can’t remember!
