Melodia Blend 2007, nice blend from Lujan de Cuyo

Melodia, Blend 2007, By Jorge Benites, USD 20
A signature wine blending 50% malbec and 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% merlot, 10% Bonarda and 5% Syrah from Agrelo district in Lujan de Cuyo Departament ,Central Mendoza. Attractive red with a nice complexity of fruits and oak elements like sweet chocolate and smoke. There is a mix of red and black little cherries and a red rose aroma quite nice. I taste a bit of disturbing acidity that might compete with the proper aging after a few years. I´d say an 88 point malbec based blend. I wound´t cellar it more tha 6 years. Good value.
