Tasting- Potluck Sweet Malbec




Name:  Potluck Sweet Malbec
Variety:   Malbec
Region:   Mendoza
Country:   Argentina
Year:  2010
Price:   $7.95

Shop Critic:   Deep red brilliant with violet hints.  Complex, fruity, and predominant red fruits.  Easy to drink, round with persistent sweetness, very well balanced with sweet tannins.  


My Review:  This wine had a very fruity, slight raspberry jam or fig scent.  It reminded me of fig newtons!  The sweetness would build each time you smelled this wine.  It had a fruity-smokey taste.  Definitely a lighter, more refreshing red wine but very sweet on the tip of the tongue.  The residual sugar was very prominent.  Overall not a bad wine.

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