Maipe Malbec



Name: Maipe
Variety: Malbec
Region: Mendoza
Country: Argentina
Year: Not Given.
Price: $8.95

Winery review: 
Deep purple color with violet tints, complex plum, fig, strawberry, spices and floral aromas; rounded and velvety tannins, excellent length with a distinguished character. Excellent when paired with game, roasted red meats, pasta or pizza.

My review: Yum. I really enjoy Malbecs. Usually I get a standard tannic red fruit wine from Malbec. This one was refreshingly floral and light tasting. The wine itself had a very heavy mouthfeel but the very fruity floral taste balanced it nicely. This was probably my favorite wine of this tasting.

I tasted this on its own with no food.
