Reviews and Ratings

Matt Steeves - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 93/100 with the following review:

This single vineyard expression of Mendoza Malbec showcases exactly how well structured, complex, and delicious premium Malbec can be, especially those from the high altitude (+1km a.s.l.) Paraje Altamira GI, a region renowned for producing the finest Argentinian Malbec. Deep ruby red with an opaque core, the nose shows sweet Damson plum, blackberry, mocha, graphite, pipe tobacco, and sous bois. The palate is rich and concentrated with dark berries, blueberry, Damson plum, cacao, and leather on the finish. An exceptional wine that is showing beautifully now and will only gain further complexity over the next 5-10 years. Enjoy with Matambre (Argentinian stuffed flank steak) or Tira de Asado (Argentinian-Style Grilled Beef Ribs) - both terrific pairings! For $30, the 2015 SonVida Special Reserve Malbec offers great value. Tasted December 2017. 93 points. Matt Steeves - www.quercusvino.ca

Sonvida 2015 is a single-vineyard Malbec sourced from the Paraje Altmira district in Mendoza. Wine grapes are planted at 1029 metres above sea level allowing the grapes to ripen evenly and completely. The wine is aged for 12 months in French and America oak barrels. Silky on the palate, this full-bodied Malbec well balanced with ripe dark cherries, fresh with red and black currant and spicy flavours. Lots of juicy fruit matched with balanced and zesty acidity for food. Pair with grilled meats. - Community Wine Reviews
