2014 Achaval-Ferrer Finca Mirador

The Achaval-Ferrer Finca Mirador is a highly regarded wine produced by the Achaval-Ferrer winery in Mendoza, Argentina. This wine is made from 100% Malbec grapes sourced from the Finca Mirador vineyard, which is located in the Uco Valley of Mendoza. The Finca Mirador vineyard is situated at an altitude of 3,000 feet (915 meters) above sea level, which allows for optimal ripening of the grapes.

The combination of high altitude, cool climate, and well-draining soil contributes to the unique characteristics of this wine. The Achaval-Ferrer Finca Mirador is known for its intense aromas of blackberries, black cherries, and plums, accompanied by notes of violets, spices, and vanilla.

On the palate, it is full-bodied and rich, with layers of ripe fruit, velvety tannins, and a long, lingering finish. This wine is aged in French oak barrels for 15 to 18 months, adding further complexity and roundness to the final product.

It is recommended to decant the wine before serving to allow it to fully open up and reveal its full potential. The Achaval-Ferrer Finca Mirador is considered one of Argentina's finest expressions of Malbec and has garnered high praise from wine critics and enthusiasts around the world.

It pairs well with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, and hard cheeses.
