While it's the simplest of the Noemia wines, it is also the most adorable and fruity. It's juicy and refreshing, lively, full of spicy details, cherries, violets and hints of oak. The texture is soft and tender, the wine ready to drink the the dark meat of roast turkey or other game birds.

Decanter
The simplest and least expensive of the Noemía wines, it is a beauty in its own right. Rich in ripe, red berries and violets, this is creamy yet bright with crisp acidity. One for charcuterie.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2014 A Lisa shows more ripeness than in the 2013, as the growing season was slightly warmer. The nose of this 2014 leans toward black cherries (while in 2013 were more red) with some licorice and it also has an earthy touch. The wine is a little more structured, it has more weight, though is still medium to full-bodied. 65,000 bottles produced.

Celebrated for its bold flavors and supple texture, Malbec has enjoyed runaway success in Argentina since the late 20th century. The grape originated in Bordeaux, France, where it historically contributed color and tannin to blends. A French agronomist, who saw great potential for the variety in Mendoza’s hot, high-altitude landscape, brought Malbec to Argentina in 1868. Somm Secret—If you’re trying to please a crowd, Malbec is generally a safe bet with its combination of dense fruit and soft tannins.
One of the most southerly regions on the globe for fine wine production, Patagonia has experienced extraordinary vineyard expansion since the early 2000s.
Patagonia vineyards occupy the lower foothills of the Andes at 1,000 to 1,600 feet. Here cold air drops at night from incredibly steep elevations—the Andes reach well over 15,000 feet in this zone—a phenomenon that produces drastic diurnal shifts. Cold nights contrasted with hot summer days produce grapes with striking color, full ripeness, great finesse and aromatic intensity.
Favored for its luxury brands, the Patagonia wine growing region of Argentina focuses on a diverse array of international varieties: Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Semillón and Viognier among the white grapes, and Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon for reds.
