2017 CHAKANA WINES "MAIPE" MALBEC RESERVE MENDOZA
2017 CHAKANA WINES "MAIPE" MALBEC RESERVE MENDOZA, ARGENTINA. 100% Malbec.
Wine Advocate: "The juicy and fruit-driven 2017 Maipe Malbec Reserve is produced with a selection of grapes from Agrelo and aged in French oak barrels for 12 months. The oak is barely noticeable and comes through as a soft, easy-to-drink Malbec." (LG)
This Malbec was produced from carefully selected grapes from Chakana's vineyards in Agrelo, Mendoza. It fermented in small lots to preserve the vineyard identity. Aged for 12 months in French oak barrels. The nose reveals dried plum and dark fruits, exotic spices, with hints of violet and chocolate. Round and fleshy, with enticing crushed plum and boysenberry fruit enlivened by a liquorice snap note. Fresh acidity lies buried on the medium-weight, juicy finish. Maipe was the Lord of the Winds for the ancient Andean Indians. He is still called upon to clear the skies after heavy rain, or to temper the summer heat.
