Alta Vista Atemporal Blend 2007
Luján de Cuyo, Northern Region, Mendoza, ArgentinaBlends are coming to the fore in Mendoza and this 43/36/11/10 mix of malbec, cabernet sauvignon, syrah and petit verdot is a good one. It spends 12 month in French oak and offers up a rich mix of smoky cedar cigar box aromas mixed with Christmas cake, cassis with bits of vanilla and chocolate. A big mouth-filling red that delivers for the price. You can drink this now or hold through 2013.Tasted: 17 December 2010Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $22.99 | 750ml |
