BEST VALUES FROM ARGENTINA- PARKER 87 POINTS

Our first vintage wine Alpamanta Estate Malbec 2007 was selected together with 253 other wines as best values from Argentina (under $25 retail price) in the Wine Advocate.

These are the tasting notes from Jay Miller, who tasted the wine back in february 09:

"The 2007 Estate Malbec was produced from organically grown grapes. For the past year, the estate has been farming biodynamically. The wine was fermented with native yeasts and raised in 60% new French oak and 40% in tank.
Purple in color, the nose reveal earth notes, spice box, and black cherry. On the palate the wine is medium-bodied with some elegance and tasty flavors but could use more depth and concentration. Drink it over the next 6 years. "
