Empire Mendoza produces wines from Argentina's premier wine region, where high altitude and intense sunlight shape powerful reds. The winery's Malbec draws on Mendoza's signature varietal—a grape that thrives in the region's continental climate, developing deep color and structured tannins. Alongside this flagship sits a Cabernet Sauvignon, the second pillar of the portfolio. Both wines have been assessed by Wine Spectator and Wine Enthusiast. The Malbec averages 86.5 in prestige ratings; the Cabernet Sauvignon, 86.0. These are serious expressions of Mendoza fruit, built on the region's reputation for dark-skinned varieties and the technical precision required to balance ripeness with acidity at elevation.
