Alamos Malbec 2020

Mendoza, ArgentinaFrom high altitude vineyards, and under the Catena family purview, this full bodied malbec (tipped with 1.5% each of cabernet sauvignon and tempranillo) fermented in stainless prior to aging in a mix of French and American oak for 8 months. Gobs of sweet jammy blackberry, blueberry compote jostle for pole position amidst a cloak of sweet ripe vanillin tannins, finishing ragged and warming, with the return of that candied sweetness. A simple, entry malbec, ready for your grilled lamb or yam burgers.Tasted: 11 April 2023Tasted by: Prices:
