94 Point Malbec from Argentina!

Andeluna Limited Reserve Malbec 2004

Set among the foothills of the Andes, Andeluna Cellars is a remarkably beautiful place to behold and is the source of the spectacular Limited Reserve Malbec 2004 we just rated “Outstanding 94” points. This guaranteed thriller is:

• BOTH elegant + exotic tasting (see notes below)
• Sourced from vineyards originally planted by world famous winemaker Michel Rolland, directly next door to his own vineyards.
• A “Steal” (!) at only $39 due to the Argentine Peso’s exchange rate (one currency where US dollar is still strong!)

THE WINE INSIDERS “OUTSTANDING 94” RATING: “Remarkably elegant yet exotic tasting, this is the finest quality Malbec we’ve discovered this year! Lusciuos deep flavors of plum, dried black cherries and currant provide a base for soft, savory spice seasonings deftly melded together with elegant and plush tannins that bode well for aging 3 – 5 years, peaking around 2010 in our estimate. Rich notes of dark chocolate emerge gracefully on the smooth finish. Enjoy tonight after decanting ½ hour with grilled beef or game! 94 points.

WINE SPECTATOR REVIEW: “Argentina’s red wines are emerging from obscurity to capture the fancy of American wine lovers, delivering vivid fruit flavors and plush textures…Argentina’s top Malbecs are rich, fleshy, fruit-driven wines, with flavors of blackberry, blueberry and plum that are accented by signature notes of meat or game and spices. They generally show plenty of toasty, chocolaty oak, plush textures and a good balance between acidity and tannins.”
