Country: Argentina / Chairman’s Blend Malbec-Cabernet Sauvignon-Syrah
Variety: Red Blend Mendoza Province
Winery: Cruz Alta / Mendoza
Aromas of cardamom and clove as well as heat make for a challenging nose. In the mouth, heavy fruit combined with chippy tannins create a clipped feel. Ripe berry flavors are a bit jumbled, with oaky spice notes stepping up. A flat chunky finish is missing skip in its stride. This is 85% Malbec with Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah.
