Deep ruby-red. Aromas of green pepper from the Cabernet Sauvignon together with red berries from the Merlot. It is composed of 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 20% Melbec and 10% Pinot Noir grapes. A round, fruity finish with cherries. A pleasant easy drinking wine.
From the Wine Advocate– “The 2009 Malbec Picada 15 (a vineyard designation) was primarily aged in tank with 10% of the wine spending six months in oak. Dark ruby-colored, it delivers a spicy, black cherry and black raspberry perfume. This is followed by a medium-bodied, easygoing wine with ample fruit and no hard edges.”
Enjoy with baked, barbecued, broiled or roasted chicken, Chicken Cacciatore, chicken in mushroom or red wine sauce, chicken marinated in herbs and grilled, Coq au vin.
