Coquena Malbec 2010, a ' grapefruity ' driven red tyical from Salta



Coquena, Malbec 2010, By Bodega Yacochuya, USD 15



A malbec from somewhere in Cafayate Valley, Salta Province Northwest Argentina.
Typical traditional Cafayate´s Malbec with sweet `pure grapefruity´  juice component. Some red fruity note too. Small if any oak component. This is the traditional Salta´s wine with simple notes, fruit driven, naturally concentrated and that original grapefruit core. An original and personal red. I´d say 87 points malbec different from the rest. Good value. Not to cellar more than 4 years.
