Luis Felipe Edwards 2006 Reserva Malbec (Puquillay Valley) Rapel - ChileAvailability: Private wine stores
Cost: $15-17
Alcohol: 14%
Date Tasted: October 28th, 2009
Tasting Notes: Argentina is known for making many top Malbecs, especially in the Mendoza region. Across the Andes from Mendoza is the Chilean wine region called Rapel which is carving a slice of the Malbec market and doing a fine job.
This Malbec, from 70 year-old vines, has a lot of character and presents exceptional value for the price. Inky-purple core with a ruby rim, this full-bodied Chilean charmer offers an intense nose of red-berry and spice aromas . Medium-plus acidity and tannins with flavours of plums, nibs and cassis. Drink 2009-2011. - LC
