Note di degustazione
Good deep ruby-red. Musky black raspberry, dark chocolate and a hint of pepper on the nose. Suave, sweet and energetic, with lovely lift and definition to the creamy dark fruit and chocolate flavors. Ultimately sweeter than the Catena Alta cabernet. Finishes with broad, dusty tannins that arrive late but saturate the front teeth and build.

The 2006 Alta Malbec was sourced from small lots in several estate vineyards. It spent 18 months in 70% new French oak. Dark purple-colored, it displays a splendid nose of wild flowers, spice box, incense, black cherry and plum. This leads to an elegant, medium-bodied rendition of Malbec with a velvety texture, superb depth and concentration, succulent flavors with notes of chocolate and black pepper making an appearance, and a pure, silky finish. While it will continue to blossom for several more years, it can be enjoyed now. Importer: Winebow, Inc., Montvale, NJ; tel. (201) 445-0620
