Tasting-Ruta 22 Malbec

Name:  Ruta 22 Malbec
Variety:  Malbec
Region:  Patagonia
Country:  Argentina
Year:  2011
Price:  $7.95

Vintage Cellar Review:  Stout and dense from the beginning, with blackberry and violet aromas. Despite being a bold and dark Malbec, this is fresh and composed, with sweet blackberry and cassis flavors. Good on the finish, with candied fruit and caramel sweetness.

My Review:  This wine smelled very sweet.  It had a dark berry fruit basket aroma.  This wine tasted delicious.  It goes down smoothly.  It was a tad bitter, similar to a standard red wine.  I was not eating any food while at the wine tasting.
