Achával-Ferrer
Quimera Mendoza Malbec Blend
The 2010 Achaval-Ferrer Quimera is well within its prime drinking window, and offers a concentrated, seductive nose fairly bursting with damson plum, ripe blueberries, ash, mint, juniper, and spice. This is an exceptionally balanced wine, with graceful distribution of ripe, firm tannins drenched in juicy blueberries, white pepper, and black tea. Smooth and delicious, this luscious Malbec sports a medium plus finish and the structure to last several years in the cellar. 14.0% ABV | Sample
