Carinae Malbec 2007, By Bodega y Viñedos Carinae, USD 9
Basic Malbec from Cruz de Piedra District in Maipu Dpt, Central Mendoza. Soft and balanced fruity driven red. Almost no oak at all altough some toasty choco may show up a little bit. Good soft bitter backbone of tannins. An 83 points and a typical low cost malbec to enjoy without thinking much of it. This is to enjoy the best up to 4 years from harvest. In my memory Cruz de Piedra´s malbec is a typical central mendoza red with wide attractive middle palate but somehow less rounder and smoother or balanced than Lujan de Cuyo´s. Probably I coudn´t tell one from another blindly tasted anyway.
