Tasting notes of a local wine lover without elegant literacy or web design. Just plain wine talk. By the same token I analyze the opened bottle with my senses, just at the very end I re-check the producer (I first checked it when bought it for sure!),vintage,terroir,and price. These data allow me to reconstruct the wine and trace a botton line.

Auka Malbec 2009, From La Consulta a beauty to stand tall any international value
Auka, Malbec 2009, By Bodega y Viñedos San Polo, USD 9
A malbec from La Consulta district, San Carlos Dpt, Uco Valley, Mendoza
Beautiful value with all the tipicity and attractiveness of La Consulta. Dark black cherries and boysenberries with a toach of ripe plum quite alluring. Good chocolaty and smoke too that go along pretty well. Not concentrated as normal for this price range: a premium malbec. I ´ve tasted few international at this price, mostly go upper to 15 bucks. A great value with great personality and attrativeness. An 89 points malbec to enjoy better before 4 years old.
