Santa Julia Malbec



Name: Santa Julia Malbec
Variety: Malbec
Country: Argentina
Year: 2012
Price: $8.95

Winery review:  The nose is full of mellow raspberry and cherry, while the palate is fleshy and round, with blackberry and a touch of raisin. Plump, not edgy, and ready to drink, with coffee and mocha notes on the finish.

My review: My favorite of the bunch; I’m often into Malbec. The nose was all dark fruit and smelled pretty standard for a Malbec. It was smooth with cherry notes on taste. I detected a little bit of coffee as well, but it wasn’t strong so you wouldn’t be turned off if you don’t like coffee. For $8.95 this is a good buy as far as I can tell of Malbec. I was tempted to buy this one.

I tasted this on its own with no food.
