Deep red with purple, no clearing. Nose of ripe berries. Ripe black berries and concentrated cherries up front with round acidity. Soft tannins and somewhat low on structure. A streaky green note lurks in the background throughout. Easy drinking.
100% Malbec from Mendoza's Eastern and Uco Valley sustainably farmed vineyards. 12-day fermentation in stainless steel tanks. Aged 6-9 months in 225L oak barriques (10% new). 13.5% Abv. Ownership: The Catena Zapata Family. Winery: Bodegas Esmeralda Winemaker: Leopoldo Kuschnaroff
A(ccuray)=2: Med deep ruby. Plummy, mellow varietal. B(alance)=2: Ripe fruit with soft structure. C(omplexity)=2: Dark berries, pepper, dark chocolate. D(epth)=1: Succulent mouthfeel. Average length and finish.
Wine Tally Score [2,2,2,1]= 7/10
Easy drinking and tremendous value.

Way too sweet for a Malbec. Tasted more like a lower end Pinot Noir.
