Felino Malbec 2011 (about $19)






About the Wine:  Some vineyards prefer to release their reds young to give them a distinctive style and taste.  This Malbec is an example of that.

About THIS Wine:  The center is purple with a pink rim.  Cranberry, plum, and hints of green pepper are all present in a fairly mild nose.  Some red fruit is present on the palate but tannins dominate both the palate and finish.

Drinking This Wine:  This is too tannic for a sipping wine.  Heavy meats are the only thing I can think of that might work.

Overall Impression:  Felino is simple and overly tannic.  I have had ten dollars wines that were more pleasant and had more complexity.  This wine is badly overpriced.
