Collovati Malbec 2008, from Famatina Valley a world class malbec for every taste


Collovati Malbec 2008, By Javier Collovati, USD 15

A malbec from Sañogasta, Famatina Valley in La Rioja Province. A single 10 acres vineyard owned by the winemaker. Striking deep red with an undertone of blue. Misterious aromas of blueberries and toast of some kind of dark pudding. Beautiful and round palate, balanced and attractive. A mix of red and black cherries ripe and sour. Not quite long lasting though and that´s the only minus. A 88 points  malbec full body and balanced. Strong and firm tannins to endure a better fate in 4-6 years of age.
A great value small prodution malbec.
