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.

SonVida, Malbec 2009, a great Altamira´s son expressing pure Uco Valley
SonVida, Malbec 2009, By Casa Altamira SRL,USD 32
www.sonvidawine.com
A malbec from Altamira distric in La Consulta city (San Carlos Departament), Uco Valley, Mendoza.
Full body and ripe malbec not far from any first brand around (Achaval Ferrer,La Celia,O.Fournier,some Catena wines,etc). Beautiful acidity and balanced alcohol for this malbec full of ripe small black berries,black california plums and a nice soft oak toach. The wine is very nice now, but surely much better somewhere between 4 and 6 years old. A 92 point malbec now and 94 in a couple of years of progressive muturity. A great value.
