Cuma Organic Biologique Malbec 2016
Cafayate, Calchaqui Valley, Salta, North, ArgentinaIf you're looking for a fresher, brighter, juicier Argentinian malbec, look for this organic Cuma. From Salta's Cafayate Valley, in the high altitude north, this benefits from deep, poor rocky soils and a super high, daily diurnal shift (an acidity saviour). Bright cassis, light violets mix with savoury, potent anise, dried sage and thyme on the bitter cherry, warming finish. Acidity is frisky, and tannins are tuggy, and while the oak use is moderate, it is certainly noticeable, especially on the end. A cool style that will work seamlessly with roasted vegetables.
