Alma Negra
Brut Nature Malbec Pinot Noir
This NV Argentine sparkler gives an orange tint in the glass. Fizzy with soapy bubbles, the wine carries almost no toasty notes on the nose and very few on the palate. Instead, it has an earthy quality, with a lanolin texture on the nose and red fruit on the palate. The mouthfeel is full and creamy, with an acidity that shows strongest on the swallow. It's an unusual sparkler which has the complexity of a still wine, but none of the highlights traditionally found in bubblies. There's an almost caramel quality on the finish.

Apr 1st, 2019Light, dry, fruity (cranberry, strawberry?), semisweet, subtle, color is orangy-pink. Balanced very well with the Thanksgiving smorgasbord.
