The story behind Calden
Malbec is the red grape Argentina made its own, and the country's high altitude vineyards in Mendoza give it a deep purple color, ripe plum and blackberry fruit, and a soft, rounded texture. It tends to be generous and easy to drink young, with gentle tannin and a warm finish.
We keep Calden Malbec in the Malbec section here in Commack, a small allocation of one or two bottles at a time. Call ahead and we will check the shelf for you.
