Alta Vista Terroir Selection Malbec 2007. A great malbec blending Uco and Lujan





Alta Vista, Terroir Selection, Malbec 2007, By Alta Vista Winery, USD 20

Great Malbec with 85% from Uco Valley and 15% from Lujan de Cuyo Dpt in Mendoza. Attractive balance of fruits, mostly blackberries and plum with a little tousch of red cherries quite ripe and sweet but with nice acidity and alcohol. Vanilla soft and likeable with soft toasy and chocolate in the middle palate. Nice aftertaste. It has the strong black fruit softened and balanced with the elegance and red fruit of Lujan. I agree the 91 points of WA and will keep some bottles for 3-6 years down the road. I feel it has all to improve nicely. A great value no doubt.
