Bodega Amalaya 2016 Review
Bodega Amalya is an extremely well made wine. There's notes of dark fruit, tobacco and leather on the nose with a subtle hint of oak. The palate is fresh and rich and the wine's acidity makes it ideal for food and perfect for a party. It's an entry-level Malbec you'll enthusiastically recommend, especially for the price.
