Avatar Malbec
Casir dos Santos
Argentina - Mendoza    - Lujan de Cuyo   

The youngest line from Casir dos Santos, Avatar is the embodiment of the Agrelo´s terroir in a wine. Striking, audacious, joyful, profound. A spontaneous and pleasurable experience for the senses. 

Bright ruby color. Ripe fruit aromas and flavors. Sweet tannins with balanced acidity; pleasing freshness.

vinous logo"The 2020 Malbec Avatar from Maipú and Lujan de Cuyo, Mendoza, is purple in color. Aromas feature plum, white pepper and hints of jam. Quite smooth in the mouth with refined tannins and a fairly juicy flow. The finish is a little aspirin. - Joaquín Hidalgo"
