Natural Mendoza Malbec - Syrah Blend

A nice red blend from Mendoza. Showing red and black fruits with earth, vegetables, vanilla, chocolates, dark coffee, spices and peppercorn.

Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity.

Nice for everyday.

A blend of Syrah and Malbec.

13.5% alcohol by volume.

88 points.

I did not take notes as these wines were served over a casual lunch with the Tikal staff.

Photos of; their Labyrinth Vineyard, various grape varietals grown for show around their offices and Lamas they keep on their Bodega property.

Is great to have Ernestos’ wines in the Cayman Islands, a real blessing

Best vintage yet for this bottle.

Solid bold fruit forward Malbec/Syrah. Should give it more for being organic.

Docked points for the insanely heavy "mine is bigger than yours" bottle. The wine is...fine. Oak sticks out a bit awkwardly.

One of the most interesting #argentinian wines I've had, #malbec and #syrah from #mendoza #tikal

Charming 60/40 Malbec/Syrah blend. Blackberry, plum, mocha, thyme and subtle purple floral. Juicy palate has a generous feel. Soft tannins. Delicious.

Ate with zucchini pasta and chicken
