El Celador, Malbec 2007, By Cielo y Tierra, Lunlunta District (Mendoza) ,USD 19.
Quite attractive malbec from Maipu Departament of Mendoza. Gustavo Santaolalla (Oscar winner for music of Brokeback Mountain and Babel) is one of the guys behind it (see Don Juan Nahuel malbec 2005, Jul 2010) and these are their first releases. Nice combination of fruit, ripe and juicy, mostly plum and blackberries, with soft vanilla and amazing coconuts in a Californian styled red. A bunch may not like it, but the most will pick it up as very attractive and likeable. I´l go 89 points for a malbec of 4-5 years cellaring with a good value to price.
