title: Finca Don Carlos 2011 Calathus Roble Malbec (Uco Valley)
description: This is called Roble, meaning oak, for a reason; the nose is extremely smoky, toasty and gritty, with stalky cherry and cassis scents and a blast of animal hide. A racy, firm palate delivers saucy, stalky, herbal flavors of tomato, red plum and cherry, while the finish feels good and juicy but tastes woody, stalky, herbal and low on ripeness.
variety: Malbec
designation: Calathus Roble
