Tasting - Maipe

Name:  Maipe Malbec Reserve
Variety:  Malbec
Region:  Mendoza
Country:  Argentina
Year:  2012
Price:  $20

Winery Review:  Wine & Spirits - Mendoza, Argentina- "...a well made take on a modern style, with liqueur-like red and black fruit that speaks to the ripeness of the grapes. Underneath, there's a tannic base that carries the weight without a problem and acidity that lifts it all, leaving a sense of freshness."

My Review:  In the wine glass this wine was a dark red color.  On the nose this wine smelled woody with some minerals blended in.  This wine had a chocolate flavor mixed with some dark berries.  It finished with a mineral flavor.  For a red of this caliber, it was not very heavy on the palate and only tasted semi-dry.  This was a decent Malbec

I did not drink this wine with food.
