The 2008 Vika Oak Malbec spent 6 months in seasoned oak. The nose exhibits spice box, cherry, violet aromas leading to an elegantly-styled, supple wine with no hard edges. It, too, can be enjoyed over the next 2-3 years. La Guarda’s entry level wines are bottled under the Vika label.Importer: The Artisan Collection, New York, NY; tel. (212) 605-0722
