Country: Argentina / Alfa Crux
Variety: Tempranillo-Malbec Mendoza Province
Winery: O. Fournier / Uco Valley
Unique for Argentina is this type of blend, which is 75% Tempranillo and 25% Malbec. The nose on this mature wine is heady, earthy and rooty in nature, with raisiny richness lurking in the background. On the palate, it’s full and gritty, with grabby tannins. Flavors of earthy, baked berries and tomato sauce finish short, an inidication that this is ready to drink now.
