Deep red with aromas of ripe dark fruits and spicy oak notes. On the palate blackberry and raspberry flavors with notes of cedar and spice, balanced with savory notes. Fine tannins, fruit and spice carry through to lingering finish. Nice! Tasting Sample!

Afrutado, buen color, buen gusto para las mujeres, recomiendo decantar o airear, en zona de calor recomiendo servir a temperatura baja, equilibrado costo-calidad sin embargo es mejor el Altavista Premium Cabernet Sauvignon 2011

Lunch was fun! Delicious Malbec from high elevation in Argentina. Very terroir driven (no pun intended) #altavista

Huge nose of menthol, cedar, white pepper, clove, and spiced red and black fruit. On the palate plumb, cinnamon, dark cherry, oak, and hints of pencil lead. High alcohol, high acid, medium plus tannin, medium plus body, with long finish.

Strong, complex flavor. Oak on the nose and palate with dark berries. Hints of vanilla. Very good!

As usual excellent with meat. Not too heavy and a strong purple color

Лесная вишня, сухофрукты, много ментола, мелькают кедровые тона, немного кожи. Букет отражает все возможные грани ягодности, но на этом конец, хотя уровень вина вполне позволяет выйти из этой плоскости. Приятная сливочная текстура, бархатистый танин без каких-либо шероховатостей. Почти отличное вино, которое, быть может, получит отличие с возрастом.
