The 2009 Corte is composed of 80% Malbec, 12% Bonarda, and 8% Petit Verdot that saw 80% of the wine aged in American oak for 7 months. It offers up a pleasant nose of cedar, cinnamon, violets, and assorted black fruits. However, in the glass it reveals a short, compact finish that subtracts from the wine’s pleasure quotient. Drink it over the next 2-3 years. Importer: TGIC Imports, Woodland Hills, CA; tel. (818) 225-5100
