Altos Las Hormigas
Clásico Mendoza Malbec
Mendoza, Cuyo, Argentina

Founded in 1995 by a consortium of prominent Italian winemakers, including Alberto Antonini of Antinori and Antonio Morescalchi. Deep Ruby with full ripe black fruit nose. On the palate cherry and jammy blackberry flavors with notes of cacao and pepper spice. Fine ripe tannins slightly acidic on medium length ending with spicy notes.

I’m happy with it for $11. It’s a good example of a low priced Malbec that isn’t too oak-chipped and fruit forward. It has some tannic elements that suppress the sweetness but mostly it’s just an easy drinker for a social setting.

Pretty basic Malbec. Not as deep and full as others. Very dry. Leather. Blackberries.

Nov 8th, 2019Impossibly good for the sub-$10 price. Flowers and herbs and crunchy red fruit. My new go-to.
