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 is a really light malbec. It has a lot of tannins. Lots of berries exploding on the palate but pretty tame all-in-all.

I did not eat while tasting this wine.
