Mission Codename Smoke on the water
We are absolutely crazy about this rich and delicious wine. From first opening to the final sip, this 2010 Hand of God Old Vine Malbec is a total delight.
Rich, deep purple hues cling to the glass wall when swirling. Aromas, a little shy at first, become exuberant as the wine opens up. On the palate, rich layers of dark fruit provide plenty of intrigue.
The more this wine is swirled, the more joy it brings - until you run out. Which is why we recommend that you stock up on this incredible Malbec!
