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.

Intimo, Family Reserve 2010, a modern and attractive Rio Negro Valley red to exalt Patagonia´s virtues
Intimo, Family Reserve 2010, By Bodega Humberto Canale, USD 18
www.bodegahcanale.com
A Malbec based blend with 20% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Cabernet Franc from Rio Negro Valley, General Roca, Rio Negro Province.(North Patagonia). A really attractive Patagonian blend with character and nice oaky stylish envelope. Ripe bunch of fruits, not overt in any way,
be that sugary, be that cooked one. Red and black cherrires, plum and peppery note. Spiciness and chocolate with vanilla a in all together in a nice balance.
A 90 point Patagonian. A great value to enjoy its best before 4 years old I guess.
