| TASTING NOTE: Bodega Vistalba was opened in 2002 in Luján de Cuyo and was setup to delve into the traditional winemaking style where wines were blended 'corte' ... The 2014 is just entering the market and is easily the most approachable version of this wine we have seen in years. The nose is warm and spicy ... the textures are supple and soft on the palate with rich, black fruits with plums and prunes dominating. Elegance and style is the hallmark of this year and this wine is well worth buying. Score - 90 (Anthony Gismondi, winealign.com, Sept. 7, 2015) |
