Tasting Notes

This 2020 Black Tears Malbec is intense purple-red and layered, showing ripe red fruits, dried plums, figs, fruit compote, blackberry jam, raspberry, black cherry, blueberry, black pepper, incense, dark chocolate, roasted coffee, menthol, violet, laurel, orange peel, cedar, and dried herbs. The palate is dry, plush, and concentrated, with sweet ripe tannins, chalky focus, smooth volume, balsamic mountain-herb lift, balanced acidity, and a long driven finish.

Food Paring

Pair this powerful Mendoza Malbec with slow-roasted short ribs, filet mignon, grilled leg of lamb, beef, pork, or rich game dishes to complement its ripe fruit, dark chocolate, and polished tannins. It also works beautifully with barbecue, hard cheeses, and spice-rubbed meats when you want a bold, elegant red with a long finish.

Professional Reviews

96 Wilfred Wong of Wine.com

"The 2020 Tapiz Black Tears Malbec is an outstanding and powerful wine with a lasting palate presence. This wine excels with aromas and flavors of dramatic raspberries, blackberries, and jammy fruits. Enjoy this wine with slow-roasted short ribs. (Tasted: March 26, 2024, San Francisco, CA)"

95 Vinous

"The 2020 Malbec Black Tears comes from San Pablo in the Uco Valley. Aged for up to 18 months in French oak barrels, this deep purple-hued wine showcases red and black fruit with a balsamic, mountain herb layer, including menthol, laurel, orange peel and cedar notes. Dry, intense and juicy, it has a smooth, voluminous palate with a soft violet infusion. It's a cushioned Malbec with a plush, attractive texture."

94 James Suckling

"Rich blackberries, blueberries, black pepper, incense, dark chocolate and dried herbs. Flavorful, brooding and concentrated but not forcefully extracted. The tannins are plentiful and polished, showing chalky texture and focus. Rich and long but driven. Drink or hold."

92 Wine Enthusiast

"Blackberry jam and light notes of violets are inviting on the nose of this fruit-driven and structured Malbec. Ripe fruit flavors add volume to the full-bodied palate. Optimal acidity injects freshness and leads blackberries and cherries to a delightful finish."
