Tasting - Ruta 22 Malbec


Name - Ruta 22 Malbec
Variety - Malbec
Region - Patagonia
Country - Argentina
Year - 2011
Price - $7.95

Shop 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 ruby colored wine had a great scent. It smelled fruity, cherry and cassis with a tang and warmth on the nose. Once tasted the Malbec had a great velvet, smooth finish. I thought this was delicious, Toasty fruit, chocolate and rich fruit could all be tasted in this wine. I purchased a bottle of this for myself and am really excited to pair this for a great dinner.

I tasted this on its own with no food.
