Familia Cassone Malbec
Argentine reds from Mendoza, stocked in small lots in Commack.
The story behind Familia Cassone
Malbec is the red grape Argentina made famous, and Mendoza is where it does its best work. Warm days, cool nights and high altitude give these wines deep color, plush dark fruit and a smooth, food friendly finish. The Reserva style usually sees more oak and a little more time, so it drinks rounder and a touch richer.
We keep Familia Cassone in Commack in very small numbers, one or two bottles at a time, so what you see is what we have.

Which Familia Cassone is right for you?
Both bottles are $21.99, which is honest money for Mendoza red at this level. The Malbec Reserva brings the rounder, oak touched side of the grape, and the Cabernet Sauvignon brings firmer structure and darker fruit. At this price, buy one of each and see which you reach for first.
Firm tannin stands up to grilled steak and lamb off the barbecue.
Round, plush and easy sipping without losing the dark fruit.
