Primmo 2008, By Bodega J.A. Cicchitti, USD 10
A blend of Malbec & Merlot 40% each,and a bit of Cabernet Sauvignon.
Grapes routed in Lujan de Cuyo and Uco Valley, Mendoza. Beautiful blend with sweet cooked and jammy plum and black cherries. All in a firm alcohol and acidity.Thin chocolate and coffee skin quite attractive and balanced. The red cherriess sour and sweet make it rounder in the middle palate. A beautiful 89 plus red Malbec based for an unbeatable local retail value. It reminds me some contemporary Italian, Spain and Portuguese reds (probably after some american and aussie classics) fresh, rich, mouth filling and very price competitive.
