Anko Flor Cardón 2012
Salta, North, ArgentinaAt just under 14% alcohol, this 100 percent malbec spends a year in 20% new French oak. The fruit is sourced from the Estancia Los Cardónes district of Salta, the northernmost winemaking province of Argentina. Located just south of the town of Cafayate at roughly 1700 meters along the eastern slopes of the Valle de Calchaquies. The little soil there is full of crushed mica at is present is full of crushed mica. Winemakers and co-owners Jeff Mausbach and Alejandro “Colo” Sejanovich and Saavedra Azcona family have planted the rockiest sites looking for a big expression of minerality and fine grained tannins. Needless to say the yields are low. This is big almost boney malbec with a savoury spicy component that doesn’t quit. A classic steak wine.Tasted: 24 July 2015Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $45.00 | 750ml | estimated retail BCLS |
