Tasting - Maipe Malbec

Name: Maipe Malbec
Variety: 100% Malbec
Region: Mendoza
Country: Argentina
Year: 2012
Price: $8.95

Winery Review: Deep purple color with violet tints, complex plum, fig, strawberry, spices and floral aromas; rounded and velvety tannins, excellent length with a distinguished character.  Excellent when paired with game, roasted red meats, pasta or pizza.

My Review: This wine provided a fulfilling nose, with tones of earth and spices apparent.  I thought that this Malbec had a strong tannic component that added a great structure to the wine.  Additionally, I tasted notes of plums, chocolate, and spices.  Finally, I thought that this wine was a little chewy.

I tasted this on its own with no food.
