Tasting - Santa Julia Malbec

Name:  Santa Julia Malbec
Variety:  100% Malbec
Region:  Mendoza
Country:  Argentina
Year:  2012
Price:  $8.95

Winery Review:  The nose is full of mellow raspberry and cherry, while the palate is fleshy and round, with blackberry and a touch of raisin. Plump, not edgy, and ready to drink, with coffee and mocha notes on the finish.

My Review:  In the wine glass this Malbec is a dark red color.  On the nose, this wine smells like raspberries.  On the palate this was was acidic and  semi-dry with a medium mouth-feel.  This wine had oak and prune flavors and was one of the better Malbecs I have tried.

I did not try this wine with food.
