"Chakana is the name given to the Southern Cross constellation by the indigenous people of the Andes highlands. Biodynamic/Organic production. 100% Malbec – 70% aged in new and used French oak barrels, and 30% in concrete vats for 12 months. Estate Malbec is from Chakana’s Altamira (3,200 ft elevation) and Gualtallary (5,500 ft elevation) vineyards. Medium dark ruby, no violet but saturated to rim. Brambly indeed! Strong peppery herbal-minty aromas. Big plush ripe berry flavors, fine tannins and solid length. Bold rich and focused classy Argentine Malbec, If a bit oaky/phenolic just yet. GV at this quality level. Now-2030. - Joe BUTLER MW"
