NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
An intriguing and complex Malbec from the Cafayate Valley of Argentina, the Bodega El Porvenir de Cafayate Amauta Absoluto Malbec is a beautiful expression of the varietal.On the nose, aromas of ripe dark fruits, baking spices, and a hint of smoke. The palate is smooth and velvety, offering flavors of dark berry and cherry, backed by a hint of toasted oak and black pepper. The finish is long and lingering, with a subtle note of chocolate. Enjoy this well-rounded and complex Malbec with a wide range of dishes, from grilled meats to aged cheeses.
