Wine Tasting: Maipe Malbec

Name: Maipe Malbec
Variety: Malbec
Region: Mendoza
Country: Argentina
Year: 2015
Price: Regular $12 on sale $6.95

Winery Review: "The 2015 Maipe Malbac is another 100% Malbec, with a deep purple color and a style similar to the Lexicon, with chocolaty, blackcurrant, and blackberry fruit, as well as touches of licorice and earth. It is delicious, soft, and round." - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (March 2016), 87 points-- Excellent Wine Values for Under $25

My Review: On the nose it smelled like cherries and plum, maybe a hint of blackberry. On the palate it was a little spicy but earthy at the same time. Smooth on the finish but not my favorite style of wine.

I did not have this wine with food.
