#81 of the Top 100 The Wine Spectator 2015
As a big red wine drinker I have been in love with this Malbec since I first tasted it with the Arizus family ten years ago. Alberto Sr.’s and Jr.’s commitment to this bottling and the vineyards that support it make it one of the world’s benchmark Malbecs.
91 Points! The Wine Spectator
" Decadently spiced, with intense dark chocolate and roasted plum flavors that feature notes of paprika. Black pepper accents show on the lush, mineral-filled finish. Needs time to open up, 3,800 cases imported." –KM
Our Thoughts...............
Violet colored wine with elegant aromas of cherries, ripe plums and quince, in addition to some spiced notes and reminiscent of mocha. A big presence of sweet and soft tannins, compact volume, and a mouth finish that brings memories of wet stone and ripe fruits.
Food Pairing- Beef, Spicy food, Mature and hard cheese, Poultry and More Beef!

About Luigi Bosca..........
In the village of Unzue, located in Navarra, Leoncio Arizu was born to Saturnino Arizu and Juana Uriz. The meaning of the family name would be a sign of the importance oak would have in his life, as Arizu means "oak grove". In 1890, a seven-year-old Leoncio arrived in Argentina and settled in Mendoza, where he was met by his uncle Balbino, already involved in the wine business.
The very first vineyards owned by the Arizus, had vines of European origin and were incorporated so that the winery began form in 1901. Leoncio Arizu became the manager of the family winery. A year later, the family purchased steam-powered plowing machinery and hired highly-trained personnel from England.
Leoncio Arizu married Juana Larrea in 1922. The couple would have 5 children. Saturnino Arizu, Leoncio's son, became involved in the winery. Don Leoncio Arizu passed away, and left his children his greatest heritage: His passion for wine.
Years later, Saturnino and his children began the commercialization of the wines produced by the family: Luigi Bosca, a paradigm in Argentinean wines. In 1991 the original Luigi Bosca Winery, located in Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza, was renovated and enlarged. After 114 years, Leoncio Arizu’s legacy is still in the hands of his grandchildren and great-grandchildren who honor the tradition of producing great wines.
