Wine Tasting: Maipe Malbec

Name: Maipe Malbec
Variety: Malbec

Region: Mendoza
Country: Argentina
Price: $8.95

Shop 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 was similar to most other malbec wines I've had, with its berry/cherry nose, but with some hints of rose flowers. To taste, the wine was surprisingly not very tannic, but did have some black pepper kick to it. The wine mostly had cherry and raspberry flavor. While not my favorite malbec I've ever had, I would order it again.
