Calchaqui Valley, Salta, North, ArgentinaFrom Salta's high desert, vineyards for this malbec/cabernet sauvignon/syrah blend are at 2000m altitude - a pristine, extreme environment. Amalaya is the local word for the hopes of a bountiful harvest, and this biodynamically farmed marvel certainly has enjoyed that. Wild dark berries, espresso, herbal twine and stem weave along a fuller bodied palate with perfumed florals, juicy plum and ripe blackberry jam. Acidity is brisk and fresh, and tannins are ripe and softly supportive, with a welcome tug on the finish. Peppery spices texture throughout.Tasted: 09 December 2015Tasted by: Prices:
