Caliterra’s 2009 Tributo Malbec contains 2% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Petit Verdot in its makeup. It underwent malolactic fermentation and additional aging in French oak. Dark ruby red in color, it exhibits pleasing notes of cherry blossom, spice box, tobacco, and cranberry. In the glass it comes up short in depth and concentration albeit with ample tasty fruit. Drink it over the next 3-4 years. Importer: Buena Cepa Wines, Miami, FL; tel. (786) 347-9249
