Vintage Character The 2020 Susana Balbo Nosotros Malbec from the Uco Valley in Mendoza stands as a benchmark for Argentine Malbec, crafted exclusively from hand-harvested grapes grown in the high-altitude, alluvial soils of the Andes foothills. The 2020 vintage in Mendoza was marked by a warm, dry growing season, which fostered the development of deeply concentrated fruit, supple textures, and notable structure.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing Awarded an impressive 96 points by Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, this wine is celebrated for its purity and depth. Aromatically, it opens with intense notes of ripe blackberries, violets, and graphite, layered with subtle hints of cocoa and sweet spices imparted by careful oak aging. On the palate, it delivers a powerful yet refined experience, with velvety tannins supporting flavors of dark plum, cassis, and espresso. The finish is remarkably long and persistent, leaving lingering impressions of dark chocolate and floral undertones. This Malbec is a versatile companion at the table, pairing beautifully with grilled ribeye steak, truffle risotto, or a wedge of aged Manchego cheese.
