Rutini Cabernet Sauvignon - Malbec 2015

Mendoza, ArgentinaThe Rutini Cabernet Malbec is 50/50 blend of cabernet sauvignon and malbec from the Uco Valley. The nose is boisterous and fresh with notes of fresh crushed black cherries and black plums with classic savoury high altitude Argentina notes. The attack is rustic, a bit old school but the fruit is mouth-filling with more cherry and black plum notes and a robust mineral undercurrent. It’s all new oak, 50 percent French and 50 percent American, adding a layer of vanilla over the back end. Hold or drink. Best now with grilled beef and a chimichurri sauce now.Tasted: 14 April 2019Tasted by: Prices:
