Universo Austral winery owns vineyards in Rio Negro and San Patricio del Chañar and Añelo of Neuquen and Chile are a group that also has wineries and vineyards in Chile. Red House habitually consumed Patagonian Court that seemed original, but always too sweet desmerecía attack. There read http://vinosenbuenosaires.blogspot.com/ and http://mrwines.blogspot.com/ the 2008 was very good wine so, roasted through, we tested blindly and in parallel the following two wines from the cellar:
FINCA ROJA Malbec 2009: Winery: Universo Austral
Area: Añelo - Neuquén
Color: ruby \u200b\u200bred clear, bright and average depth.
Aroma: fruity with some raspberry / cherry, smoky, slightly alcoholic. Average volume / low aroma.
Taste: fresh, soft and delicate, attack something sweet and good acidity. Unbalanced center-forward in the mouth and warms too much, but has correct acidity. It is very much alive. Its alcohol content is 14 ° and have low persistence.
Value: $ 23
Quality / Price: Fair to Good
Winery: Universo Austral
Area: Añelo - Neuquén
Color: garnet red evolution towards brick slightly dull and shallow.
Aroma: good fruit, with plum and some smoke / grass (herbal?) Is something alcoholic aroma with good volume.
Taste: Round , penetrating fluid, the attack is not sweet as 2007 and has an acidity Quite right. In the mouth it behaves in the center and sides of its acidity. Its alcohol content is 14 ° and has medium persistence.
Value: $ 23
Quality / Price: Good to Very Good
Conclusion: correct two wines for $ 23, we are left with the Patagonian Court 2008, which is very original, a "claret" made with Pinot Noir and Merlot from terroirs where these varieties are best. As Mr. Wine noticed a touch grassy, \u200b\u200bRed House Court Patagonia, but I've noticed this in several Merlot in the area of \u200b\u200bBlack River and Neuquén, understand that there is a defect in production or lack of ripeness, but seems more a feature of criminality of Merlot in the area. The truth is that I ignore this issue but also touches appear in crops Sauvignon Blanc in the region.
