Alcayata, Malbec & Syrah 2006, Bodega F. Lourton,USD 14
Nice blend from a single vineyard in Uco´s Valley, Mendoza.
Dark color but simple nose and palate. Nice plum and violets with hint of spice like black pepper and oregano. Hints of smoke and vanilla. Great inicial palate but fades away soon. Lacks complexity, backbone and memory. Not a red for more than 4-6 years cellar. I´d say 86 points blend with barely acceptable price value. I don´t see tyicity from Uco but it is enjoyable red.
