A dark red, with bright acidity supporting juicy blackberry, currant and blueberry notes that pick up hints of wild flowers, hot stone and tar. Shows nice range and cut. Drink now.
– 90 points (Wine Spectator)
Bright ruby-red. Crushed blackberry, menthol and licorice plus a whiff of reduction on the nose. Juicy, brisk and quite dry, in a distinctly savory, uncompromising style. On the lean side but well-made. And the tannins are suave.

About Altos Las Hormigas:
In 1995, Alberto Antonini, the super flying winemaker from Tuscany, and Antonio Morescalchi a young entrepreneur, took a trip to visit the major viticultural areas of Argentina.
They returned powerfully impressed by the potential of Malbec in the Mendoza appellation, and felt certain that they had found what they were looking for. The next step came that year and 216 hectars were bought in the the township of Lujñ n de Cuyo.
A job for Ants" is the Argentine say for humble, patient, extended work; therefore the Ant is our symbol and our good luck charm. We work with great pride, but we are aware that keeping an open mindset, humble enough to be always willing to learn new lessons, is the secret to grow as persons and as winemakers.
Altos Las Hormigas is about exploring new and old ways of making wine, we study tradition, in order to innovate. Their working method is the continuous effort to combine the care and dedication of a XV century Italian craftsman, together with cosmopolite knowledge of techniques and an eye open on Technological and Scientific advance. All this is devoted to the goal of delivering a Wine which is the cleanest, freshest expression of Mendoza Malbec, an expression of depth and authenticity. www.altoslashormigas.com
