SuperUco Gualta 2017

This wine is a co-fermentation of 60% Malbec with 40% Cabernet Franc all from within Gualtallary in the Uco Valley, Mendoza. The nose shows notes of blackberry jam. black currants, and chocolate cake all crusted in baking spices of nutmeg and vanilla with a touch of cracked pepper. The palate is deep garnet and purple in color and is rich with dark fruit flavors that lead to a sustained finish. Held up by good tannins this wine can definitely age for a while.
