Macari Vineyards Malbec 2023 Review
Long Island's Macari leans into a leaner style of Malbec that emphasizes a sense of place while providing enough fruit to support the acidity. The nose offers a waft of spearmint, soil, and tart cherries. It’s medium-bodied on the palate — bottled at just 12.4 percent ABV — with soft fruit and a refreshing finish.
