Siesta en el Tahuantisuyu, Malbec 2007, By Ernesto Catena (Puerto Ancona SA, Siesta Wines), USD 30
A malbec blending different high altitude vineyards from Mendoza (Uco Valley and Lujan de Cuyo) and even San Juan Province (Pedernal Valley). Siesta Wines
Original palette of black and red cherries with strawberries and a sweet small plum sour and sharp that reminds me wild plums. Good oak tones mostly chocolate and mild roasted coffee beans. Nice, elegant and balanced. A 90 point malbec blending 3 terroir virtues. You may prefer either approaching each terroir standing alone or a complex painting of them. The caveats of blending different terroirs is that I might prefer what you won´t. Here´s why the idea is good to think of but hard to comply.
