Tasting - Fetzer Malbec

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

Winery Review:  Delicious Malbec is 100% from Mendoza, Argentina. It has a vibrant red color with violet tones. Subtle and delicious aromas with an intense mixture of red fruits, plum and cherry jam. On the palate it’s juicy and has intense wood-like tannins that make it a rustic, yet versatile wine. Long finish.

My Review:  In a wine glass this wine is a deep red.  The aroma is very sweet with an overwhelming scent of cherries.  On the palate this had a smooth, medium mouth-feel.  This Malbec had an initial taste of cherries, but finished off with an oak flavor.  I really enjoyed the smoothness and complexity of this wine.

I did not eat food with this wine.
