Finca La Linda Private Selection Old Vines Malbec 2018
Maipú, Northern Region, Mendoza, ArgentinaI was in awe the first time I saw this high-altitude (960M) vineyard with thirty-year-old vines back in 2010, so I'm not surprised by the quality of the wine coming from it. The fruit jumps from the glass even in this cool year with bright notes of blueberries and blackberries with a commensurate dusting of savoury dried herbs. It is a slightly more sophisticated look for a soft, round dense red that makes for a delicious mid-week wine you can serve with grilled sausages or mushrooms.Tasted: 23 February 2021Tasted by: Prices:

Finca La Linda Private Selection Old Vines Malbec 2018
Maipú, Northern Region, Mendoza, ArgentinaFrom vineyards at 950m in Maipú and Luján de Cuyo, this was fermented in stainless and partially aged in American oak for 8 months. Dusky plum, blueberry, juicy blackberry floods the fuller palate, with ample sweet spicing that lingers on the shorter finish. Quite friendly and likeable now, especially with grilled kabobs.Tasted: 23 February 2021Tasted by: Prices:

Finca La Linda Private Selection Old Vines Malbec 2018
Maipú, Northern Region, Mendoza, ArgentinaOld Vines in this case means 30+ year old vines planted at 960m elevation in Mendoza. It's clean and correct, if not overly complex, combining blackberry compote with smoky, espresso-tinged oak. It should have broad appeal thanks to its soft acidity and smooth tannins that are polished by 5 g/L residual sugar. It has the fruit ripeness to go up against smoky grilled meats, but on its own just finishes a touch thin.Tasted: 01 November 2020Tasted by: Prices:
