Siesta (Tahuantinsuyu) malbec 2007, a multivineyard malbec strange enough


Siesta (en el Tahuantinsuyu), malbec 2007, By Ernesto Catena, USD 35A malbec blending different terroirs from La consulta, Agrelo (Mendoza), and even Pedernal Valley (San Juan Province).
The result is a quite unusual Malbec. Nice and complex with fruity core of black cherries,and sweet ripe black grapes. Wide and giving a balance oak. Given the complex blending this wine won´t be easily consistent vintage after vintage. So and so it goes like 90 point and worthwhile the price. It doesn´t show tannins to improve after 6-8 years old like almost any Argentina´s Malbec.
