Colomé Malbec Estate 2015
Salta, North, ArgentinaColomé has been making wine in the Upper Calchaquí Valley, Salta since 1831. Growing sustainably farmed malbec in a desert at high elevation is no easy task, but they seem to do it with ease. The 2015 is one hundred percent malbec aged in French oak, of which only 20 percent is new. The fruit is precise and chiselled with blackberries, cherries and blackcurrants and an attractive strong mineral floral undercurrent. Seriously excellent value and a perfect match for a T-bone. The flagship house wine is a mix of four estate vineyards: La Brava Vineyard (1700m) is known for intense ripe fruit; The Colomé Vineyard (2300m) adds complexity and weight; The El Arenal Vineyard (2700m) is all about freshness and elegance; while the Altura Máxima at a stunning 3100m (the highest vineyard in the world) adds the floral and mineral notes.Tasted: 29 May 2018Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $39.99 | 750ml | private wine shops |
