Ernesto Catena Vineyards Siesta en el Tahuantinsuyu ‘Tahuan’ Malbec ’19

Description

Mendoza, Argentina.

The 2019 Malbec Siesta en el Tahuantinsuyu from Vista Flores, Uco Valley was aged for 14 months in barrels. Purple to the eye. The bold aromatic profile features fresh plum, violets, and herbs against a fruity backdrop, with each descriptor coming through precisely. Unctuous in feel with a medium body and juicy, nimble flow, the tannins are refined and enhance the delicate character before the rewarding bold and fruity finish.

James Suckling: 91 Points:

Blackberry and blueberry with some walnut on the nose. It’s medium-bodied with a solid core of fruit and medium-polished tannins. Savory finish with a sense of spice at the end. Drink now.
