Crios Rose of Malbec 2011 (about $13)







About the Wine:  If a diligent reader learns nothing else from this blog, they will learn how much wine aficionados hate White Zinfandel.  In this case it is relevant because, to most American wine drinkers, blush wines are synonymous with the light, sweet White Zinfandels that dominate the inexpensive wine market.  Of low quality and often artificially sweetened, White Zin turns many people off to the wonderful and varied world of blush wines.

About THIS Wine:  The center is pink and the wine has a clear rim.  The nose is very floral with strong acidity.  The palate is a curious blend of bright strawberries and potent acidity that fade into an unremarkable finish.

Drinking This Wine:  Definitely a food wine due to the mouth watering acidity.  This would be the perfect companion to a fruit platter of grapes, strawberries, and apples.

Overall Impression:  This is nothing spectacular, but the price is reasonable and I have never a wine like it.  It is reasonable for the price.
