Estate Selection Lujan De Cuyo Malbec
Lujan De Cuyo, Mendoza, Cuyo, Argentina
Suggested to me a a local wine shop. Nice blend of fruits and spice. Not as bold as I expect with a Malbec.

Nice start, good mouthfeel, let's up a bit on the finish. Price up $2 since last vintage. Hmm. #Chakana # Malbec

Light, fruity & easy to drink. Bot spicy or tannic.

Best Malbec I've had in a long time. Thanks, Yoshio!

Above average Malbec. Cherry, bell pepper and fresh meat. Simple but tasty. Good value and an excellent choice for large groups and winter BBQs!

2013. Chocolate covered cherries on the nose. Not strong aroma. Medium tannins. Thin body like a Pinot noir. Pre food had some spice and decent oak. Had it with a vegetarian chili and the red fruits opened. Smooth mouth feel. Decent, but Forgettable. IMO Not worth the $

A little bit of funk, earth, licorice smoke and cassis bursting from the nose. Drinks ok for now but a bit awkward and imbalanced for me. Maybe more time in the bottle.
