Tasting - Piattelli Grand Reserve Malbec




Name: 2020 Piattelli Grand Reserve Malbec

Variety:  Malbec

Region: Cafayate Valley, Salta

Country: USA

Year: 2020

Price: 23.99


Wine Review: This wine represents the best of the crops. An intense red color and aromas of black fruits, vanilla and smoke. These aromas are transformed to give the wine great structure and body on the palate. A soft fruit-forward flavor and a strong and balanced finish.

Wine Folly: Argentina’s most important variety came by way of France, where it’s commonly called Côt. Wines are loved for their bold fruit flavors and smooth chocolaty finish (p. 125). 

My Review: This wine was very good. It was very fruity and dry. I tasted cherry and some spices like pepper. I really liked how bold and fruity it was and I thought it was great for my fist malbec. (4/5)
