Bodega Renacer Milamore Malbec Blend 2021

93
Bodega Renacer
Fanciful Name: Milamore
Varietal: Malbec Blend
Vintage: 2021
Country of Origin: Argentina
Appellation: Mendoza
Retail Price: $27.99

Tasting Notes: Both delicious and interesting. Interesting, in that the wine is produced by partially drying the grapes before fermentation. This concentrates the fruit, which intensifies each component of the wine. Nearly opaque ruby in the glass, the nose is filled with dark fruit, and abundant spices. Weighty on the palate, the rich fruit shines through, with an elegant and persistent finish.

Varietal: Merlot

Country of Origin: USA
Appellation: Napa Valley
Retail Price: $29.99

Tasting Notes: Winemaker Abigail Horstman lets the grapes speak as she sources from prime sites in the Oak Knoll, Yountville, Oakville and Calistoga AVAs. Fermented 100% in stainless steel, with 9% cabernet added to the cuvee, and then aged for 14 months in French oak. Inky, and lush, with soft raisin and caramel notes. Subtle notes of vanilla and oak on the smooth lingering finish. Time to throw some thick rib-eyes on the grill.
