Winemaker's Notes
Working closely with the domaine, we select out the best cuvées each vintage, and bottle these authentic wines without filtration to preserve their intense color and structure. This blend of Malbec, Tempranillo and Syrah was aged in french and american barrels. It has the flavors and the taste of Altamira, terroir from where it comes.
Wine Enthusiast
Ripe to the tipping point of being a little bit baked, but the nose of spice and mint mixed with violet, black cherry and plum is attractive. The palate on this blend is concentrated but well balanced, and the jammy flavors of plum and berry are not too heavy.
Score: 89.
