Description
The 2018 La Consulta Select is a co-fermentation of 37% Malbec, 21% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Cabernet Franc, 11% Merlot, 10% Tempranillo and 5% Syrah, all aged in second and third use French oak barrels for 12 months. It’s floral and harmonious, complex and nuanced, with nice integration of the different varieties and the wine with the oak. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grained tannins and a balanced palate with nice texture and a chalky mouthfeel.
88 points Wine Enthusiast: Standard berry flavors open this six-grape blend led by Malbec and backed by a flush and blaring palate. Blackberry, plum and chocolate flavors are at full volume, while a sound finish remains packed with ripe fruit.
