Amalaya Malbec 2021
Calchaqui Valley, Salta, North, ArgentinaThis is currently on sale for $19.97 at BCLS, so there's never been a better time to back up the truck. It's light and juicy, with fresh brambles alongside game, chocolate, and violet. There's depth here without trying to be something it's not, expressing the high elevation freshness of Amalaya's vineyards at 1800m. Serve lightly chilled, with asado, of course. Slightly reductive under screwcap, this will reward a quick decant prior to serving.Tasted: 11 April 2024Tasted by: Geoffrey Moss MWPrices:BC | $24.99 | 750ml | BCL stores |
