Escorihuela 1884 Malbec Estate 2016
Mendoza, ArgentinaBodegas Escorihuela was founded in 1884 making it the oldest continuously operating winery in Mendoza. It’s been run by the Catena family and investors since 1993 and its performance has vastly improve since then. The 2016 is a mix of Agrelo fruit (950 metres altitude) and Vistalba and Altamira fruit from the Uco Valley (1000m & 1250 metres). In 2016 there is a change in style and texture with more floral, red fruit characters that seem better built to take on the oak. It has amazing finesse and texture for a $20 red. Try this with a favourite grilled beef dish or a soft cheese.Tasted: 11 April 2017Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $17.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
