Tasting 21. March



Name: Maipe Malbec Rose
Variety: 100% Malbec
Region: Mendoz
Country: Argentina
Year: 2011
Price: $7.95

Wine 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.

My Review: I've been a big fan of the Malbecs that I've tried, but I had never tried a Malbec Rose so I was interested in seeing how it compared.  I thought it was really nice, and strawberry flavors seemed most apparent to me.  The dry quality of the Malbec grape was deceptively covered up by the strawberry flavors, but certainly not a sweet wine.  

I did not have food with this.
