Humberto Canale
Gran Reserva Rio Negro Malbec
Río Negro, Patagonia, Argentina
Brought back from a recent trip & my first Patagonian merlot. I won’t say it’s my last but wasn’t jiggy with it, though it paired well with a very savory & flavor packed dinner of Italian sausage, broccoli rabe, & Hungarian potatoes w caraway. No edges & quite sleek, concentrated red fruits but found it bland. Canalé is a renowned Patagonian producer. Since I drink solo Merlot rarely May just be the varietal.

Outstanding Malbec. Beautiful ruby red color. Unfiltered and barrel fermented. Smooth and burst with berries. Good wine with steak at Brenner’s Houston.

A dry, tannic, well-rounded wine. Slightly spicy and oaky with notes of blackcurrant and dark berries.
