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.

Ruca Malen Reserva de Bodega 2009, round and nice multivineyard
Ruca Malen Reserva de Bodega, By Bodega Ruca Malen, USD 13
www.bodegarucamalen.com
A Cabernet Sauvignon (Vistaflores) based blend with some Malbec (Altamira) Syrah and Petit Verdot (Agrelo). A juicy and round red nicely cored with red and mostly black fruits, plums and hints of herbal and peppery notes. Softly oaked too. An 89 point blend, very good value and probably best around its 4th birthday year.
