Winery Review: “Discover
the allure of Argentina with a deep, delectable Malbec from Mendoza. A heady,
yet dry nose of blueberries and leather opens up to a palate of intense
chocolate, mocha and plums. A soft velvety texture and hint of spice leads to a
finishing note of toasted oak. We carefully select the best fruit from our
Mendoza vineyards, picking dark and delicious berries that mature gradually and
gracefully. Rooted in stony alluvial soil, the grapes are harvested, gently
crushed and left to ferment slowly with extra skin contact. Aging in oak
barrels results in a full, soft, intense and rich Malbec.”
Personal Review:
This wine had a distinct cherry and plum aroma to it. After tasting this wine,
I did not discover any of the notes the winery mentioned in their review. To me
it tasted very bitter and watered down. Although this wine was smooth, it was
not your typical Malbec that I am used to drinking. It was not spicy or peppery
like most I have had in the past. While I did not drink this wine with food, I
am not interested in trying it again as it was just too bitter and watery.
