Mapema Blend 2003, a excelent multivineyard ´mendocino´


Mapema Blend 2003, By Mapema, USD 40

A blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon from Tupungato and Agrelo, 30% Malbec from La Consulta and 20% from Agrelo and Tupungato. A balanced and complex blend walking its 9th year of age and probably downhill. A beautiful red with red cherries and blackberries with plum a little bit cooked (the cork was perfect with only a thin rim of wine on its inner edge. Good chocolate and smoke. Hard to pick up any vanilla. A 90 point blend probably best 6-8 years of age. Great value though.
