Alamos Selección Malbec, 2006
Alamos Selección was released in 2006 as an extension to the successful Alamos brand. The Selección line offers quality wines from Argentina that exhibit the true character of the country. As with the other wines made by the Catena family, the fruit for these wines is carefully selected and blended to create the final product. This Mendoza Malbec really delivers the goods. The color is a deep vivid purple and is nearly opaque. On the nose is black cherry, plum and a puff of smoke. The flavors are those of juicy black cherry and sweet cranberry, spice and a slights hint of oak. Although this full bodied wine has a creamy texture, it also has vibrant acidity and smooth caressing tannins. The finish is long and fruit-filled. We enjoy many good wines throughout the year, but this wine was truly delicious, by itself, and with a hardy meal.. We bought this for about $13 at Pete's Wine Shop in Bellevue. This is another excellent Malbec from Mendoza.
