2008 Renacer Punto Final Clasico Malbec

SKU #1051301

90 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The unoaked 2008 Punto Final Clasico contains 97% Malbec and 3% Cabernet Franc aged for 10 months in stainless steel. It was sourced from own-rooted vineyards over 50 years of age. Made in a late-harvest style, this deep purple-colored wine reveals a nose of spice box, incense, and black cherry. Layered and rich on the palate, it conceals some ripe underlying tannin that should allow the wine to provide pleasure over the next 4 years. It is an amazing fruit bomb for $10!" (08/09) Malbec does not get much more quaffable and delicious than this. Deep, rounded dark plum and blueberry aromas, with a hint of black pepper, lead to a mouthful of soft, pure mixed berry fruit, with a tingle of acidity to hold the wine together and keep it wonderfully fresh. With its moderate tannins and high gulpability, this would be a terrific Tuesday night drinker, whether it's with your favorite recipe for herb roasted chicken, or a takeout pizza. (Joe Manekin, K&L Latin wine buyer)

Additional Information:

Varietal:

Malbec

- Red grape variety originally made popular in Bordeaux, where it is still found in some blends. This grape has declined in popularity in many regions because of its susceptibility to downy mildew, rot and frost bite. It seems to have found a good home in the drier Argentina and Chile. It can also be found in some California Meritage and a blending agent. Here is a list of our bestselling Malbec.
Country:

Argentina

- Argentina is regarded as one of the most dynamic wine-producing nations in the world, and possibly the most important wine-producing region in South America. Only four countries in the world produce more wine than Argentina. Considerable investments (much of which has come from famous French, Italian and California wine producers) have been made in new vineyards and winemaking technology in the past several years, which along with recent plantings of more premium varieties of grapes, has made Argentina much more competitive internationally. The Mendoza region is the most important region in Argentina's wine industry. And Malbec, among other Bordeaux varietals grown here, reigns supreme.
