From high-altitude vineyards in the Andes Mountains, the 2018 Altos Las Hormigas Terroir Malbec offers a bright, well-structured expression of Argentina's signature grape, the immensely popular Malbec. Opening with aromas of fresh violets, aromatic herbs, and macerated fruit, it rolls over the palate with silky plum and blueberry fruit, framed by elegant tannins. Showing notable complexity and grip on the palate, this wine earned an impressive score of 92 points from Wine Advocate and Vinous.
Carlos’ Cheese Pairing: Chaumes
This soft cheese comes from the southwest of France in the village of Saint-Antoine, at the foothills of the Pyrénées. A washed-rind and soft-ripened cow’s milk cheese, Chaumes has an aromatic golden rind and a pale yellow, creamy paste. The smooth, supple and rather springy texture is complemented by rich, intense and full-bodied flavor.
The 2018 Malbec Terroir Valle de Uco has great brightness of fruit and much more freshness than the one from Luján that I tasted next to it. It's expressive, aromatic and more elegant, with refined tannins and a silkier mouthfeel. There is a special brightness here.
