Chakana reserve Malbec 2009, a well balanced Uco Valley + Lujan blend



Chakana Reserve, Malbec 2009, By Chakana Wines (Andean Wines), USD 15
A beautiful Malbec bottled in Lujan de  Cuyo Departament, Central Mendoza.
It mixes ripe and sour black cherries and berries typical from Uco Valley with a bit of soft and strong red berries. Delicious chocolaty note rounds up. Very good balance and attractiveness
all over the palate. Delicate and soft and not even close to overconcentrated. Nice enough complexity. 
An 89 points malbec that will get better next few (lets say 2-4) years. Great value.
