2006 Altos Las Hormigas Malbec
Altos Las Hormigas
A Malbec Dry Red Table wine from
Mendoza, Argentina
Source Reviewer Rating Maturity Current (Release) Cost
Wine Advocate # 174
Dec 2007 Jay Miller 90 Drink 2008 - $8-$11 (11)
The 2006 Malbec is a prime contender for the top value in Malbec. Purple-colored, it has an excellent nose of violets, spice box, blueberry, and black cherry. Medium to full-bodied, it offers a creamy texture, layers of flavor, excellent balance, and a long, fruit-driven finish. Although this outstanding Malbec may well evolve for 1-2 years, there is no reason to defer gratification. It is a fantastic value. Importer: Vineyard Brands, Birmingham, AL; tel.
