Country: Argentina / Tannat-Malbec
Variety: Red Blend Mendoza Province
Winery: Alma de los Andes / Mendoza
Generic berry aromas with a hint of tomato and bramble set this off as a different breed, which it is, considering it’s 78% Tannat. The palate has biting tannings and toughness, while the flavors of raspberry and strawberry are snappy. Finishes strange, with pronounced butter and foxiness. Has its positives and negatives.
