A Malbec from Villa Atuel town in San Rafael Valley, Mendoza
Good and straight malbec. Pure california plum and quince marmalade. Not concentrated but balanced and attractive. An 8 bucks value bought by 4. Great deal, isn´t it ? An 82 points malbec, low cost and good pleasure. It fullfils my expectation from San Rafael Valley, Atuel river and town in the deep south Mendoza.
Villa Atuel, Cabernet Sauvignon 2008, By Bodegas Pueyo Echevarria, USD 4
A Cabernet Sauvignon from vineyards of San Rafael Valley (Villa Atuel town) , Mendoza.
As many times happens, the CS reaches a better balance and attractiveness than Malbec in San Rafael (see the case Bianchi´s wines as paradigmatic). More complex and wide than the same vintage and vineyard Malbec. More balanced palate with red and black cherries with toaches of quince, ripe plum and chocolate. An 83 points red very good value for 4 bucks. This is a true Argentina´s Value for less than 5 bucks. Both have structure and tannins to endure 4 years old nicely.
