Altos del Plata Mendoza Malbec

You were funk! Then you were black cherry, black berry, dried raspberry and blueberry, with black pepper and red flower mixed in. I couldn't tell if you were old or new world, maybe you were confused yourself. You had hints of gravel, and vanilla, baking spice and cinnamon rounded your profile out. You were medium acid medium plus alcohol medium to medium plus tannin and medium finish. I called you an old world Cab Sauv, but you were Altos Del Plata Malbec 2012 Mendoza.

Tastes even better camping in the mountains!

Best with game for example elk tartare. Fruity with slight tannins and some earthness.

A bit too much sediment but a good warm weather red

Fine for drinking at home on a week night. Doesn't wow me.

Intense red, violet highlights
Soft, nice red and black fruits: black raspberry, oak, toasty, plum, fruit forward
Same fruits on palate
Sweet tannins, resolve, soft velvety
Good with roast chicken, hamburger
4.5/10

Not too shabby

Velvety purple with strong blackberry on the nose, medium body and medium plus acidity, velvety/cocoa fine tannins, biting black pepper and blackberry on the palate, finishing with hints of cinnamon.

Wow - very nice. Didn't expect that from an $11.00 (USD) wine. Very smooth

Hoy! dia de pastas, degustamos los frutos negros, las especias y los aromas a violetas de este gran vino, con que? con mi plato favorito spaguethis en salsa de pomarola (mi favorita), chorro de aceite de olivo y parmesano, ahhhh placer!
