Tasting Notes for Alamos Malbec 2006 75cl:
The 2006 Alamos Malbec has a deep, dark violet color with blackish inky tones. The nose offers rich blackberry aromas with light notes of violets and vanilla. The mouthfeel is full yet soft, with ripe, concentrated dark berry fruit flavors and a touch of sweet spice from light oak aging. This finish is long and lingering, with sweet, inviting tannins
Producer Information:
Nicolas Catena was the third generation of his family to make wine in Mendoza but the first to see the potential in planting higher and higher vineyards in search of cool climate sites ideal for the production of fine wine. Today, over a decade on from the first Catena Malbec in 1994, he works with his daughter Laura (who improbably juggles her work as an ER surgeon in San Francisco with the family business) in their relentless pursuit of the finest possible quality wines from their unique vineyard sites.
