Finca Bella Vista Mendoza Malbec
Beautiful wine with resolved dusty tannins. Rich red fruit. Reminded me of a mature Super Tuscan.

Oct 24th, 2018Charming red and black fruits, lots of wild berries. Tertiary notes start to build. Quite old world style. Need some time to open. Very nice!

Aug 12th, 2018On the nose; violet perfumed cassis, black raspberries, raspberries, plum, grassy notes, dark chocolate, bit of herbaceous and great purple florals.
On the palate; the body is medium to full. The tannins are firm, meaty & chewy. Fruits are ripe; black raspberries, raspberries, plum, crushed dry rocks, loamy dry top soil, leather, some pepper, light spice, dry tobacco, grassy notes, fresh red & violets, nice acidity with a nice balanced finish.
Photos of; open top fermenters with Malbec in them, outside tasting lounge for a nice day like Sunday and their Estate vines with Andes in the background.
