From Salta's high desert, vineyards for this Malbec/Cabernet Sauvignon/Syrah blend are at 2000 m altitude — a pristine, extreme environment. Amalaya is the local word for the hopes of a bountiful harvest, and this bio-dynamically farmed marvel certainly has enjoyed that. Wild dark berries, espresso, herbal twine and stem weave along a fuller-bodied palate with perfumed florals, juicy plum and ripe blackberry jam. Acidity is brisk and fresh, and tannins are ripe and softly supportive, with a welcome tug on the finish. Peppery spices texture throughout.
