La Finca "Oak Aged" Malbec 2022


Nice cranberry jelly hue with aromas of classic Malbec with dark berry/cherry fruit and blackberry pie.

Palate--First impression is nice structure with very good Malbec flavor of mouth watering berry fruit with a touch of cherry and a nice finish that is clean even if a bit short.

Now--check this out against the previous review on my blog of the Gestos Malbec. These are both really super value wines. The previous is more intense, deep and brooding but this one is delicious as well, a touch more gentle and not as intense. So what?  Well this wine is $6! It ought to be priced more around $15!  The previous Malbec is better for sure and even my wife noticed the difference in intensity. So while the uneducated palate might never notice the difference these are two great examples of what one Cabernet for example costing $10 but is nothing like a $25 Cabernet. 

At these prices for these Malbecs, grab them and raise a glass!
