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.

Viniterra Malbec 2009, from high agrelo district to place malbec at the pinnacle
Viniterra Malbec 2009, By Viniterra Winery, USD 13
www.viniterra.com.ar
A malbec from High Agrelo District of Lujan de Cuyo Departament Central Mendoza.
A delicious malbec at a premium level with balance and great attractiveness. A malbec expressed at a such a beauty level capable of disputing Cabernet´s reign as a complete grape. Red cherries merged with ripe red and black plums and a touch of chocolate and toast from oak to round it up nicely.Very smooth and complete perception at the palate. No herbal neither spice edges like you find in cabs and Merlot or syrah based wines. An 89 point red probably best by 4-5 years old. A great Argentina´s value. It shows why malbec should be one of the best, if not the best, choice to make single grape (great) wines.
