About the Wine: Malbec has taken off internationally as a trending varietal. For a Malbec lover this is good news as it means that variety and availability of Malbec has greatly increased. Unfortunately it also means that many wineries are burning through vintages too quickly and that some Malbecs are not being aged nearly long enough. That is why the 2009 vintage on this bottle is so encouraging.
About THIS Wine: A dark red center fades to a clear rim. Earth, red apple, and raspberry make up a nicely layered nose. The palate is jammy but not overly heavy with a lot of red fruit that lingers in a finish defined by both fruit and soft tannins.
Drinking This Wine: It could work as a sipper and would also do well with grilled red meats.
Overall Impression: The wine is pleasant and the price is reasonable. This one is good for the price.
