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.

Dos Fincas, Cab & Malbec 2010, a wonderful value from Uco Valley under 10 bucks
Fincas, Cabernet & Malbec 2010, By Finca La Amalia (The wines of Carlos Basso), USD 9
A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (40%) and malbec (20%) from Uco Valley, Mendoza.
So straight and beauty to reach easily the elvel of great value. Balanced and fruity with nice notes of chocolate. Black cherries and peppercorn and red bell peppers are the core. Sweet and perfectly stuctured by acidity and alcohol. A premium red and less than 10 bucks. An 88 points red to drink before 4 years of age. A great value.
