Casir dos Santos Reserve Malbec
Casir dos Santos
Argentina - Mendoza    - Uco Valley   

This Malbec is from Casir dos Santos' Vista Flores vineyard in Tunuyan (Uco Valley).

Deep ruby color with aromas of ripe blackberries and plums and notes of forest, smoke and spice. Complex and structured with firm and elegant tannins. Well balanced acidity. A great reflection of the terroir.

2017 Casir dos Santos Reserve Malbec - 89 PTS - WA

wa89"The 2017 Reserve Malbec is a straightforward varietal, apparently now produced exclusively with grapes from Vista Flores in the Valle de Uco and Maipú. It shows some concentration and ripeness without excess, matured in second and third use barriques for eight months but nicely balanced and integrated. It has a medium to full body and some dusty tannins. It develops a beeswax and honey note after some time in the glass. 6,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in Mach 2019. - Luis Gutiérrez"
