2008 Catena Alta Reserva Malbec
Right off the bat, this wine is sourced from like 5 different vineyards and being that it is a Catena, they must be great vineyards. Wine was rich. Great earth notes with a light hint of mint. Great balance of black fruit and and sweet casis on the nose and palate. Pretty big tannins but they tend to work out. Finish was like a Rolling Stones show...big, flashy and made you want more. The price tag does draw it down a bit seeing that it is going for about $50, but a few bottles in the cellar are not bad. Good stuff Maynard.
