Winery Review: Delicious Malbec is 100% from Mendoza, Argentina. It has a vibrant red color with violet tones. Subtle and delicious aromas with an intense mixture of red fruits, plum and cherry jam. On the palate it’s juicy and has intense wood-like tannins that make it a rustic, yet versatile wine. Long finish.

My Review: I personally found this wine to be mediocre.  The nose of this wine was very strong with a perfume-like aroma.  In my opinion, the taste wasn't as intense as the winery review would suggest.  However, I did notice the subtle taste of blackberries and plums.  I thought that the wine had a burned, smokey essence that resonated with me long after tasting.

I tasted this on its own with no food.
