About the Wine: Malbec originated in France and is more or less the national grape of Argentina. This Malbec is from New York. Because when you drink as much as people in the wine business do, things don't have to make sense. You can find more info about the vineyard at http://www.whitecliffwine.com/
About THIS Wine: The center is light red and fades to a clear rim. Sour cherry, earth, and ripe strawberry are all prominent on the nose. The palate is surprisingly thick for how light the wine is. Blackberry and currant are strong on the palate and on the finish, which is moderately dry.
Drinking This Wine: This wine is good without food but it would go very well with a thick, meaty sandwich.
Overall Impression: This is a very full bodied Malbec that is easier drinking than many of its Argentine cousins. Twenty dollars is a lot, but this wine is reasonable for the price.
