Only the most adventurous and pioneering winemakers are willing to challenge this extreme, new appellation. The Three Thieves were excited about this region as it reminded them of their very own Sonoma Coast, known for producing amazingly complex wines.

This Malbec comes from two very special regions within Mendoza, Argentina. 85% of the wine comes from the acclaimed Lujan de Cuyo sub-region from a vineyard called “El Alto”, which is 3,000+ feet above sea level.

The other 15% of the Malbec comes from the Uco Valley which is south of Lujan de Cuyo, yet closer to the Andes Mountains and at an even higher altitude. This region adds Malbec with more acidity and complexity. The Show Malbec was aged for 9 months in 25% French oak.
