2023 Alamos Malbec

Alamos is the entry level label for Argentinian giant Catena offering the best of Mendoza’s high altitude vineyards at an incredible price. Grown on foothills of the Andes Mountains at elevations of 3,000 to 5,000 feet, the intense sunlight, cool evening temperatures and mineral-rich irrigation from melted mountain snow translates to a rich wine with intense flavour characteristics.
Midnight black dark red core with a dark red black tinged hue. Blossoming out of the glass are aromas of blueberry, violet, dark cherry and red liquorice which are trailed by some dried herb and spice notes. The elegant medium bodied palate features juicy blueberry and dark cherry fruits over subtle red liquorice, dried herb characters and spice. Possessing a youthful freshness it has fine grained tannins and a savoury mid length finish.
Drink over the next 2-3 years.
Alc. 13%

Other Reviews…..
Lots of cherry fruit with touches of white pepper and spices. Juicy and vibrant, with soft tannins on the medium-bodied palate. Medium-length finish laden with fruit. Drink now.
