Enclave Sur, Malbec 2011, By Grupo Trafen, USD 10
A Malbec from ´middle valley´ sub-area of Rio Negro Valley in Rio Negro Province, North Patagonia.
This sub-area of the Rio Negro Valley is warmer and lower in altitude even though the land,wind,sun and cool nights are pretty the same. A beautiful malbec, rich ,juicy and naturally concentrated with that twist of sour tannins deep and sweet at the same time ,bigger and wider than Mendoza´s. There is a push on red wild fruits too that coupled with a chocolaty oak stuff go pretty well. An 89 point Malbec ready for prime time game. Absolutedly a great value. Probably best before 4 years old and one of the best at premium price (even though so many Argentinian wines are walking that level of quality lately that I shouldn´t say 'one of the best' anymore).
