Altos Las Hormigas
Terroir Valle De Uco Malbec
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.

2 people found it helpfulMay 25th, 2016This 2010 Malbec from the Altos Terroir Series is from a select parcel of land in Uco, near Mendoza in Argentina. Given the recommendation of collaring up to 5 years this wine should be hitting its straps right now. In comparison to last nights' entry level Malbec there's a far better integration of fruit:oak.
On the eye it's dark red and completely opaque with an almost pink edge. The nose is black plum with a hint of tobacco. The palate is a mirror image and the finish is very long, dry and licoricey!

Not generally a malbec drinker, but this is a great example and quite good for the price.

Dec 19th, 2016Surprisingly restrained, red fruits as well as black. First wine drunk on Mendoza trip, enjoyed with Milanesa beef covered with cheese and ham.

I don't drink Malbec, just this Malbec. So balanced and interesting.
