Malma Cabernet & Merlot 2006, a Patagonian Value







Malma, Cabernet Sauvignon & Merlot 2006, By Bodega Nqn, Neuquén, USD 8
Quite attractive blend from Northpatagonia (Cab Sau 60% and Merlot 40%). I like to taste some wines well close to theirs late life. This blend has beautiful complexity, a basic one , but nice and complete. What a well aged and matured wine could finally ever bring. Nice red sweet bell pepper roasted and caramelized with only a hint of herbal spiced touch. Nice red sour little fruits too. Quite smoke and soft dark choco too. I´d say a red for 4-5 years at no better price value. I´ll go 88 points.
