Terrazas de los Andes Mendoza Malbec 2004

Terrazas de los Andes Mendoza Malbec 2004 Terrazas de los Andes Malbec is 100% Malbec, grown 3500 feet above sea level. Aging was 6 months in 65% French/35% American oak, split evenly between new, 1-year, and 2-year-old barrels.

88.5 points. Color: Purplish-ruby semi-opaque. Aromas: Ripe cherry-raspberry jam, with hints of vanilla, spice, and toasty oak. The mouthfeel is medium-bodied and softly tannic. Jammy flavors of plum, cherry and pomegranate combine with sweet oak spice mid-palate, and the finish is abundantly fruity and easy.

Closure: Real cork. (A screw cap would be an improvement.)

Retail: $10.  Value: Excellent.
