PREMIUM BLEND MALBEC/CABERNET SAUVIGNON 2010 Mendoza
Vintage Assessments Tasting Note Producer SUR DE LOS ANDES
Very deep intense purple colour. Juicy, spicy, cassis, raspberry, plum-cherry nose. Fairly dry, medium bodied, juicy, spicy, cherry-plum flavours with a lingering, crisp, cedary finish. This ready-to-drink REPEAT is a 14% alcohol blend of 50% Malbec and 50% Cabernet Sauvignon with a much lower 3 g/L residual sugar (vs.10 g/L residual sugar) and a totally new lot number CMBC13517041 on the back label. TONY ASPLER / 88-points - Dense purple-ruby colour; cedary, spicy black fruits on the nose; medium to full-bodied, dry, creamy blackberry flavour with a firm tannic finish. It is very different from the ancient May 2014 tasting note quoted in the Vintages Catalogue which says that this is “a tightly wound, fresh young blend of Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot now through 2020.” CSPC 411298

TASTING NOTE: Intense mineral and berry aromas show class and touches of mint and resiny wood. This feels crisp, electric and drawing, while flavors of graphite, mint, raw oak, vanilla, plum and raspberry run onto a lightly herbal, medium-length finish. Drink this tightly wound, fresh young blend of Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot now through 2020. Score - 91 (Michael Schachner, Wine Enthusiast, May 2014) Price $ 15.95
