Winery Review: Delicious Malbec is 100% from Mendoza, Argentina. It has a vibrant red color with violet tones. Subtle and delicious aromas with an intense mixture of red fruits, plum and cherry jam. On the palate it’s juicy and has intense wood-like tannins that make it a rustic, yet versatile wine. Long finish.  

My  Review: This wine was much easier on the nose than the Garnacha. However, it was still too peppery for my taste. When I tasted the wine it was still extremely dry but I could stand the initial punch much more. Also the mid palate had a second kick of acid and tannin that I was not expecting. Good long finish. Full bodied wine.

I tried this wine without any food.
