"The Alamos Malbec has dark, blackish purple color. The nose shows ripe black fruits, black pepper spice and floral notes. The mouthfeel is full yet soft and supple, with blac raspberry and currant flavors mingled with notes of sweet spice and a touch of leather. The finish is long and persistent with soft, sweet tannins."
(Winemaker's Notes)
The lush cassis and raspberry fruit is surrounded by cocoa, spice and toast notes. The fruit really pumps through the finish, offset by a mineral note that adds further dimension.
The 2008 Altas Cumbres Viognier is rich and packed with stone fruit flavors of peach and apricot, as well as melon. Completely un-oaked, the wine is quite delicate and very clean on the palate.
"The Malbec (with 10% Bonarda) received 11 months in 50% new French oak and 50% 1 year American oak. Purple-colored, it offers an attractive toasty, smoky nose with notes of earth and black cherry. Medium-bodied and elegant, it is smooth-textured, ripe and concentrated with enough silky tannin to allow several years of development."
"The 2006 Alta Malbec was sourced from small lots in several estate vineyards. It spent 18 months in 70% new French oak. Dark purple-colored, it displays a splendid nose of wild flowers, spice box, incense, black cherry and plum. This leads to an elegant, medium-bodied rendition of Malbec with a velvety texture, superb depth and concentration, succulent flavors with notes of chocolate and black pepper making an appearance, and a pure, silky finish. While it will continue to blossom for several more years, it can be enjoyed now."

"The 2006 Alta Chardonnay was sourced from the high altitude Adrianna Vineyard. The wine was fermented with native yeasts, then barrel-fermented and aged for 16 months in 50% new French oak. The nose reveals pain grille, baking spices, floral notes, baked apple, and tropical fruits. This leads to a layered wine with a creamy texture, ripe, complex flavors, and a lengthy finish."
"This 100% unoaked bonarda from Mendoza is a fruity wine with flavors of blueberry, raspberry and ripe currants. Good structure, silky tannins and a balanced finish."
