Familia Cecchin, Graciana 2007, Organic Wine,Pedro y Jorge Cecchin SRL,USD 9
www.bodegacecchin.com.ar
A Graciana grape grown and vinifed organically certified in Russel District of Maipu Departament, Central Mendoza.
An interesting wine if you go interested before hand on it, otherwise won´t go far away.
A simple and straight red with nice soft but dark trasluscent color. Nice nose of toasty red dry fruits like strawberries and raspberries. Palatable taste with nice sourness and fruitiness. This wine is closer to zin,pinot noir and sangiovese than to a argentinian malbec or cabernet. I´d say an 87 point red and a very good value with great Maipu imprints. A nice wine to show an unusual variety in Argentina with a tipical Maipu imprint. It looks like there are tannins for 6-8 years of plateau.
I don´t feel it very attractive though, neither I feel it for its Rioja father anyway (at least as single variety wine). The organic nature of the wine might deserve further consideration, but I confess my ignorance on that point.
