Gen Del Alma Jijiji Red 2016

This blend of 50% Malbec and 50% Pinot Noir is all hand harvested from a single vineyard in Gualtallary. The wine sees some carbonic maceration and has a huge vibrant nose of red fruit, violets, and caramel apple. Good acid lifts the mid-palate with notes of rhubarb, red cherry, orange peel, ash, crushed stone, mushroom, gunpowder, and flint. For the kid in everyone this wine is reminiscent of Bazooka Joe’s pink bubble gum, the powdered white sugar from a Lik stick package, and a watermelon jolly rancher. A wine busting with complexity!
