Zaha
Toko Vineyard Malbec
Mendoza, Cuyo, Argentina
I’m going to have Delectable check on this wine. I show it as Zaha Toko Vineyard Paraje Altamira.
I didn’t take notes but, but remember lush dark fruits with fairly strong but not overdone edgy minerals.

Wonderful complex red wine for what I would normally consider to be a Malbec.

Tasted blind and mistook for a very dark-fruited new world pinot. Bad but not extremely embarrassing, give the the high minerality, balanced ripeness and silky tannins

Just found this in the wine fridge, well worth waiting. Amazing nose, beautiful on the palate and long finish. Incredible with mild curry vegetarian dish. Wish we had not drunk the other bottle.

Excellent, big-ass, bargain-priced Argentinian Malbec.

Gave this a try on a recommendation at $28. A very exciting Malbec for it's depth of flavors and surprising complexity for a Malbec. Not your typical fruit forward everyday drinker. This is a well crafted gem you will really enjoy for any occasion. Not sure I would have guessed Malbec in a blind tasting - in a good way.
