The 2020 Volare del Camino feels harmonious and balanced, quite fruit-driven and juicy, with very fine-grained, chalky tannins. They picked the grapes quite early, and it fermented destemmed (like all of the reds here) in a closed vat (contrary to the 2019, which fermented in open bins), more reductive, with indigenous yeasts. It matured in used, neutral and well-seasoned 224-liter French oak barrels for 16 months. It has 13.9% alcohol and good freshness and acidity, with fine-grained tannins. It's a very good effort for the vintage but without the precision I found in the 2019. 1,092 bottles were filled in December 2021.

The 2020 Malbec Volaré del Camino hails from El Monasterio vineyard in Gualtallary, Uco Valley and was aged in neutral, used French oak. Purple in hue. The enticing nose offers violet, lavender, sage and blackberry notes. The vibrant palate has a tea-like texture and finely-grained, chalky tannins before the juicy, long-lasting herbal finish. The 2020 is a structured but light-footed red.
