Reserve High Altitude Malbec

Great high altitude Malbec from Cafayate, Salta--Had this at a restaurant in Salta called Ma Cuisine

Fancy, heavy bottle. Nice artwork. Dark, deep color. Blood at the blood bank dark red. Smells ok. Fruits and soils. Hint of wet granite. Flavors are balanced and very dry. Just kind of muted. Not ‘extra’ on the fruit-forward side like many Malbecs, but just plain red wine. Nothing jumps out at you. It’s a likable and very drinkable, bottle. I guess with ‘High Altitude’ I was dreaming of a little something more.

Really enjoyed it with some spicy food. Very drinkable.

Blueberry, blackberry, cranberry spice, and floral notes.

Kinda a dramatic label. Excellent rendering of rocks. Very dark color. Kind of that classic deep maroon of the beefy Malbecs. Smells dense and juicy. Berry danish. Or is that a blueberry 🫐 donut? Flavors are chewy and complex. Spice with a hint bitter skins of a balanced plum. Has plenty of sagebrush and fall dry leaves. Balanced, full bodied and woodsy. This is a very nice Malbec. Maybe it’s the altitude.

Would definitely drink it again!

Full taste with a tangy bite

Very full body. Flavors of plum and a finish with just a hint of herbs and green vegetables. Its tannins are very modest. It has a pleasant acidity as well. This wine is very flexible and will spice up a mid-week dinner at home. It was only about $12 at Costco. This was a good value and the first Malbec I’ve ever had.

This is a lovely Malbec that is easy to drink with food or on its own. Very Nice!

Beautiful wine!
