Mendel Red Blend Unus 2021 750ml

The 2021 Unus combines 65% Malbec (from Mayor Drummond and Altamira) with 25% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Petit Verdot (both from Perdriel). It opens with a distinctively Bordelais-influenced bouquet of pencil shavings, graphite, dried herbs and a powerful core of black and blue fruits. The palate is sleek, polished and compact, seamlessly transitioning to a lush, drying and savory finish with grippy but refined tannins. This could use another year or two to further digest its élevage, and as with much of the Mendel portfolio, it should develop beautifully well past its 10th birthday.
