Tasting - Ruta 22 Malbec

Name:  Ruta 22 Malbec
Variety: 100% Malbe
Region: Patagonia
Country: Argentina 
Year: 2011
Price: $7.95

Winery Review: Stout and dense from the beginning, with blackberry and violet aromas. Despite being a bold and dark Malbec, this is fresh and composed, with sweet blackberry and cassis flavors. Good on the finish, with candied fruit and caramel sweetness


My Review: I depicted a black cherry and rasberry aroma from this wine right away. I also felt like I could smell a touch of vanilla with the berries. Although this wine had a dry palate, which I don't normally enjoy, it did not have strong tannins nor acidity, which I liked. It was a sweet red wine that I think would be good if paired with a fish dinner. 

Food: N/A
