Bodega Ruca Malen is a boutique winery in Mendoza, Argentina, producing elegant and stylish wines that have caught the eye of two of the top critics in South America: James Suckling and Tim Atkin. Their reimagined labels, "Capitulo Uno, Dos, Tres" are designed to show the progression of the purity of the grapes and vineyards, organic viticulture, and the terrior of Lujan de Cuyo and the Uco Valley. With Capitulo Uno, the wine sees no oak, made in an approachable way with good ripeness and juicy fruit, with notes of violets, berries and herbs. It has the textbook velvety palate with round tannins and is clean and approachable, easy to drink.
"Attractive aromas of bramble fruit, blueberries, plums and a hint of violet. Medium-bodied with round, dust-like tannins and a polished yet refreshing, fruit-driven finish. Very honest fruit. No oak. Juicy and delicious. Drink now." James Suckling, 92 Points
