Catena La Consulta, Mendoza, Argentina, 2020 Malbec, $19.54-$24.99, 91 points, poured a rich Sienna color with a broad clear meniscus and light sticky legs.
Aromas were typically fruit-forward with hints of mulling spice which were good but not dramatic or particularly different than most Malbec red wines I've had.
This Malbec was full-bodied, showed good acidity, a supportive underlayment of tannin, and excellent upfront pepper spiciness accenting all that mulberry, blackberry, and a touch of red raspberry with mint.
Finished long on the developing mint, accelerating spiciness, and a well-balanced 13.5% alcohol.
Paired fine with my meatloaf dinner.
