Wine Review: Discover the allure of Argentina with a deep,
delectable Malbec from Mendoza. A heady, yet dry nose of blueberries and
leather opens up to a palate of intense chocolate, mocha and plums. A soft
velvety texture and hint of spice leads to a finishing note of toasted oak. We
carefully select the best fruit from our Mendoza vineyards, picking dark and
delicious berries that mature gradually and gracefully. Rooted in stony
alluvial soil, the grapes are harvested, gently crushed and left to ferment
slowly with extra skin contact. Aging in oak barrels results in a full, soft,
intense and rich Malbec.
My Review: In my search for a red wine to like, this has
gotten me one step closer! I was a skeptic of the smell and taste because I
heard it smelled just like a red velvet cake. These people were right! It
definitely had the usual earthy, red smell, but it also smelled and tasted like
chocolate and sweet. It was a dry wine with a long finish, but it was
enjoyable!
