Nunum, Uco Valley (Mendoza, Argentina) Malbec 2014

Sep 26, 2018

By Rich Cook

 Nunum’s “Fenix” is a powerhouse Malbec with deep savory character on the nose and in the mouth.  Blackberry, black cherry, chocolate, dry earth, fall spice, raw meat and perfect oak selection ride a rigid structure through a firm, grippy finish that already is leaving a well integrated impression of all the flavors.  Get some to save for later and revel in the evolution over the next 15 years.  Great Malbec!  A Platinum Award winner at the 2018 Sommelier Challenge International Wine & Spirits Competition.
