Alfa Crux Malbec, 2011
14.5%
750 ml
Varietals: Malbec
Region: Uco Valley
Tasting Notes:
The 2011 Alfa Crux Malbec shows a good balance between spicy/oak-related aromas and the juicy berries and violets that are classic Malbec descriptors. This is a very concentrated red with some dried fruit character and hints of toasted oak. The palate is medium to full-bodied, and although the wine is powerful it feels less so because of the good freshness and balance.
