The 2006 Malbec was sourced from ungrafted vineyards with an average age of 22 years. The wine spent 14 months in 50% new French oak and was bottled without fining or filtration. Purple-colored, it offers an enticing bouquet of wood smoke, spice box, violets, black cherry and plum. Medium-bodied, on the palate it exhibits excellent focus and delineation, a claret-like personality, excellent depth, and enough structure to evolve for 2-3 years. Drink this classy Malbec from 2010 to 2021. Anoro is a joint venture of importer Vine Connections, Master Sommelier Ken Fredrickson, and his wife, Lucy.Importer: Vine Connections, Sausalito, CA; tel.
