The Story: After winemaker Barry Chaiken's grandparents immigrated to America, he became involved in the American wine industry. He then decided that he wanted to return to Argentina to make wine in his native country, and Chaiken Vineyards was born. This single-vineyard Malbec is limited to only 1500 bottles and was produced at an altitude of 3,400 feet above sea level.

Why You'll Love Me: I have ripe notes of plum and lilac with hints of vanilla and tobacco.
