Bright, medium ruby color. Vibrant, strong aromas of blackberry, violet, dark raspberry and crushed stone. Very well built, fine tannins with super concentrated body, Utterly silky finish with a perfumed back end. This is a precise and sassy wine with blueberry and hints of hazelnut plus lots of citrus character. Full and tight with a long and persistent finish. Showing power and complexity, the voluminous 2013 Achaval Ferrer Finca Bella Vista Malbec starts out with fascination in the aromas—notes of wild strawberries and blueberries, anise and licorice, as well as earth and an accent of leather. Bright, jammy red-berry aromas are gritty and a bit herbal. A fleshy, jammy mouthfeel belies the snappy raspberry and blueberry flavors that follow. A lot of blue-fruit character and herbal notes grace a high-energy, bright finish.
