Chakana Malbec



New from Argentina!!
We have a great price, suggested retail is $30



2021 Chakana Estate Malbec...$23.99 / 750ml
100% Malbec
The color is deep purple, very intense, typical of Malbec. Plum, brambly berries, spices and an iris/violet note are apparent on the nose. Intense, fruity flavors with velvety tannins.
Rated 93/100 Tim Atkin (2023 Argentina Special Report)
Ripe black fruits, saddle leather, peppery herbs, and floral notes define the 2021 Malbec Estate, a complex, medium to full-bodied, balanced Malbec that has a round, supple mouthfeel and fine tannins. This charming, layered, satisfying Malbec will evolve nicely for 7-8 years.
Rated 91/100 Jeb Dunnuck

Chakana is the name of the Southern Cross constellation. Its rotation in the sky throughout the year made it an effective agricultural calendar for the ancient Andean people.
The "yaguarete" (jaguar) on the label was known by the ancient Andean people as the "lord of the starred night"; the wildest known animal.
Chakana Estate Malbec is from Chakana's Altamira (3,200 ft elevation) and Gualtallary (5,500 ft elevation) vineyards.
