Finca Bella Vista Mendoza Malbec
Excellent Malbec. Deep, dense, juicy, spicy and chocolate finish.

Oct 1st, 2018On the nose; violet perfumed cassis, black raspberries, raspberries, plum, grassy notes, dark chocolate, bit of herbaceous and great purple florals.
On the palate; the body is medium to full. The tannins are firm, meaty & chewy. Fruits are ripe; black raspberries, raspberries, plum, crushed dry rocks, loamy dry top soil, leather, some pepper, light spice, dry tobacco, grassy notes, fresh red & violets, nice acidity with a nice balanced finish.
Photos of; open top fermenters with Malbec in them, outside tasting lounge for a nice day like Sunday and their Estate vines with Andes in the background.

Upon opening, still a little tightly wound but after some decanting and time, a beautiful Malbec true to its flavors.
