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.

CarinaE Cuvee Brigitte 2009, round and expressive Cruz de Piedra Malbec based blend
CarinaE Cuvee Brigitte 2009, By CarinaE Bodega & Viñedos, USD 11

A 72% malbec and 28% Cabernet Sauvignon blend from Cruz de Piedra District, Maiupu Departament, Central Mendoza.
A realy nice malbec based blend with strong terroir driven fruit and a balancing oak, mostly a beautiful (to me) dark chocolate (like 90% cocoa). Wide in palate displaying red berries and cherries with less plummy effect. Good red bell pepper and herbal toach too. Nicely balanced and attractive. An 89 point red fully expressed and balanced in the premium quality. Great value a that level.Probably better before 4 y/o of age.
