O. Fournier 2009 Alfa Crux Malbec (Uco Valley)

Country: Argentina / Alfa Crux
Variety: Malbec Mendoza Province
Winery: O. Fournier / Uco Valley

Ripe aromas of blackberry, raisin and cassis blend nicely with graphite and vanilla notes. There’s a mild, brooding power to this wine but mostly it’s lush and generous, with warm blackberry, prune and licorice flavors. A smooth finish hums along with no tannic bite or hardness. Drink through 2016.
