Tasting- Maipe Malbec Rose


Name:  Maipe
Variety:   Malbec
Region:   Mendoza
Country:   Argentina
Year:  2011
Price:   $7.95

Shop Critic:   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:  Powerful jammy aromas were the star of this wine.  It was almost as if you had just opened a jar of strawberry jam.  Very thick, rich and well-rounded scent.  It had quite a richer, thicker mouthfeel as well.  Fruity, cherry and slightly creamy in it's finish.  Very delicious wine.  I really enjoyed this one!

I drank this wine on its own with no food pairings.
