Pulenta Estates Malbec Estate 2006
Alto Agrelo, Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza, Argentina
100% Estate Malbec
Winemakers Notes:
“The wide temperature ranges between days and nights grant the vineyard an intense color and its fruity character of morello cherry, blackberry and plum jam. Its complexity and elegance, granted by 12 months of aging in French oak and its long storage in bottle, make this Malbec a great exponent of our signature variety”.

Lush and fruit-driven, with a creamy texture carrying enticing flavors of melted fig, crushed blackberry and spice. Long, alluring finish has plenty of toast, but it’s well-integrated, with the fruit really shining. Drink through 2010.
Simon Field, MW
“Malbec in youth is rich and almost too powerful, marrying Indian spices, liqueur de cassis and notes that remind one of dried fruits that have been macerated. All framed in a natural and entirely seductive sweetness, needless to say. Pulenta’s success resides in the fact that all this has been harnessed, but then enhanced by careful ageing and a judicious use of new oak. The result is both textured and restrained, with a structure perfect to match some of the region’s famous beef dishes”
