Tasting: Ruta 22 Malbec


Name: Ruta 22 Malbec
Variety: Malbec
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: This malbec is very fresh and light; it tastes like flowers. Excellent on its own, I imagine it would be astonishingly good with food. Will definitely purchase at some point!

Food:  None
