Tasting notes of a local wine lover without elegant literacy or web design. Just plain wine talk. By the same token I analyze the opened bottle with my senses, just at the very end I re-check the producer (I first checked it when bought it for sure!),vintage,terroir,and price. These data allow me to reconstruct the wine and trace a botton line.

Altavista Atemporal Blend 2008, from Uco valley a magic malbec based blend
Altavista Atemporal 2008, By Alta Vista Wines, USD 18
Impressive blend from Uco Valley. Malbec based with Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Petit Verdot. Very dark black cherries ripe and sweet dominant with herbal and spice counterpart that creates a quite nice complexity. Adorable wine balanced and wide in the palate. Strong and ripe tannins. Concetrated and rounded by chocolate and tabacco. A 92 points malbec blend from High Mendoza to enjoy strong and fruity the first 6 years of life. I´d love to watch it grow old on nice oxidation afterwards.
