Amalaya Malbec 2020
Calchaqui Valley, Salta, North, ArgentinaThe easy-to-spot blue label is the go sign if you like buying quality wine at a bargain price. Amalaya, under screwcap, is an alluring mix of red and black fruits with a dusty, stony, mineral underside. Wonderfully dry and fresh, the palate is juicy and round, and the tannins light but structured. The esperanza por un milagro (waiting for a miracle) Amalaya is grown at some of the world's highest vineyards topping 1800 meters. It is mostly malbec mixed with 15 percent tannat and petit verdot. It remains an absolute bargain at $21.99. Back up the truck.Tasted: 11 April 2022Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $23.99 | 750ml | BCL stores |
