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.

Familia Ponce, Blend Oak 2010, a traight and attractive Cruz de Piedra
Familia Ponce, Oak Blend 2010, By Bodega Ponce Torres,
USD 12
A malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon based blend from Cruz de Piedra District of Maipu Departament in Central Mendoza.

Nicely fruity with plum, red cherries and raspberries ripe and sweet. Also an interesting edge of seet figs. Good balance with mild oak. Attractive and tipical of Maipu Dpt (very close to Lujan de Cuyo in character but probably somehow wilder). An 89 point malbec based blend and a very good value. To enjoy better before 4 y/o of cellar.
