Bodega Colomé Estate Malbec - 2007
Colomé Estate is a Malbec based blend with Cabernet Sauvignon and Tannat. The signature red varietal of Argentina, Malbec excels in the warm, dry climate, producing exceptional wines with dark, spicy aromas and succulent texture.
This Colomé Malbec is produced mainly from pre-phylloxera vines
planted in 1854. Bodega Colomé vineyards are bio-dynamically and
sustainably farmed at an altitude of 5,500 to 8,500 feet and are
believed to be the highest vineyards in the world. The sandy and
alluvial soils yield small crops and produce deeply colored and
concentrated wines which capture the essence of this distinct terroir.
Our Malbec Estate Wine represents the unique character of cooler
climate Argentine Malbec, the country’s signature red grape. Grown
in the northern province of Salta at high elevations, the grapes and
wines express bright fruit profiles, while retaining acid and tannin for
structure, a combination rare in Argentina. Cabernet Sauvignon,
Tannat, and Syrah are blended for complexity, structure, and a rich,
supple mouthfeel to produce a truly remarkable wine.
WINEMAKING
Grapes were hand harvested in 25 lb boxes, delivered to the winery,
then hand- sorted twice, once for grape imperfections and then for
green material in the must. Fermentation was slow due to the altitude
(lower oxygen), and there was extended maceration, totaling 25 – 30
days. Malolactic fermentation occurred 50% in barrels and 50% in
tank.
WINEMAKER COMMENT S
The color is deep magenta with a purple hue. This wine is
sophisticated on the nose with violets, black fruits, clove, and black
pepper followed by flavors of elderberries, nutmeg and cassis. It is a
full bodied and rich wine with thick, mouth coating texture. Subtle
French oak and toast flavors are well balanced providing vanilla and
toasted bread flavors. The wine is long, rich, fat and round on the
finish. It pairs well with steak, cassoulet, duck, venison and other
hearty fare.
