Name: Ruta 22 Malbec
Varietal: 100% Malbec
Region: Patagonia
Country: Argentina
Year: 2011
Price: $7.95
Shop Critic: 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 had a mild, smooth nose with lots of black cherry aroma. It was also pungently bitter. After tasting this wine, the first thing that jumped out at me were the dryyy tannins. However, once the dryness mellowed out a bit I got some hints of fruit; strawberries and blackberries came through. Tart on the finish. Overall I enjoyed this wine!
I had this wine on its own with no food pairings.
