La Posta
Tinto Red Blend 2020
Mendoza
This complex table blend of Malbec, Syrah, and Bonarda is perfect by the glass, but you’ll want it by the bottle.
VINEYARD
AVERAGE AGE OF VINES: 34 YERAS
AVERAGE ELEVATION: 3000 FEET
VINIFICATION
The grapes are sourced from the La Consulta region in the Uco Valley. 60% of the blend is aged for 9 months in 2nd and 3rd use barrels, 60% French and 40% American oak.
TASTING NOTES
Aromas of red cherries and raspberries are infused with mocha and spice. Your first sip washes broadly across the palate like a flood of sweet, fresh fruit and the viscous mouthfeel keeps the flavors lingering. The hints of baking spice and some oak keep the fruit flavors fresh and lively.
FOOD PAIRING
Unique recipe ideas include Ricotta Salata and Roasted Pepper Fritatta, Pomegranate-Glazed Short Ribs, or Roast Chicken with Wild Rice and Cranberry Stuffing.

Reviews
"Fresh and Juicy"
James Suckling - January 13, 2022
"Grenadine, red-fruit and floral undertones on the nose. Medium-bodied with fine tannins. Fresh and juicy on the palate with pleasant acidity, polished tannins and a dense, caressing texture. Flavorful finish."
