Tasting - Maipe Malbec Rosé

Name: Maipe Malbec Rosé 
Variety: 100% Malbec 
Region: Mendoza 
Country: Argentina 
Year: 2011 
Price: $7.95

Shop Review: Intense pink color with violet hints. Fresh red fruit bouquet, strawberry and cherry flavors, balanced acidity, dry and lingering finish. Excellent with tuna or green salad, pasta, spicy Asian dishes (Vintage Cellar).


My Review: The cherry notes in the Maipe Malbec Rosé were the most prominent. It did have an overall fruity aroma, however, the cherry was the easiest to pick out. The Maiple Malbec Rose was very crisp. The palate of the wine were berries, more specifically blackberries. The finish of the wine was indeed very dry, however, I was pleasantly surprised. While I don't normally enjoy dry wines, this was quite enjoyable.

Food: N/A
