On August 10th, 2024 Intra Vino Inc. had the opportunity to have one of our best selling wines reviewed by the Cru at Wine Align.
This is well made and offers good complexity, generosity and depth for the money. Malbec's plummy/mulberry fruit, tea and florals steer the aromatics with some cabernet mint in the mix. It is medium weight, fairly open-knit, smooth, soft and a touch sweet. There is some heat as well. The length is very good. Tasted August 2024
Value Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
A good and plenty, juicy and savoury mix of the two essential (red) varieties growng at elevation in Mendoza, they being malbec and cabernet sauvignon. This fine joint called “south of the Andes” does what needs and for the cost represents a fine buy for those who like things just one step north of simple. Professionally made and with some character to boot. Some bitters at the end and because all that came before was positive, this is completely forgiven. Drink 2024-2025. Tasted August 2024.
Value Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Here's a lovely, dense and deep, remarkably complex red for the money, plush and full bodied, with fine concentration and complexity overall. I like the fluidity and saliva-inducing qualities. Drink or hold short term for maximum enjoyment on the fruit. Tasted August 2024.
Value Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
