90
Cruz Alta
Varietal: Malbec
Vintage: 2016
Country of Origin: Argentina
Appellation: Mendoza
Retail Price: $11

Tasting Notes: This Malbec is a medium plus bodied, and rich for the modest price point. Dark plum and cherry notes dominate the nose and palate but a slight tannic grip defines the finish. There are spice oak notes but this wine is defined by texture and fruit.

Black Cabra
Varietal: Malbec
Vintage: 2016
Country of Origin: Argentina
Appellation: Mendoza

Tasting Notes: Impressive red from Jean-Claude Berrouet, formerly of Chateau Petrus in Pomerol. Dark ruby red, this is a soft and silky Malbec loaded with aromas of blackberries and violets, with subtle notes of pepper and cloves. Black cherries and plums fill the medium-to-full-bodied palate, with hints of cedar and vanilla on the long finish.
