2011 Maipe Malbec Rosé Tasting

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

Vintage Cellar's Review:

“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:
The wine has a great, rosy color. A very fruit nose with hints of strawberries, currants, plums and any red fruit really. The taste is very sweet and it does recede throughout the mid palate where the tannins are a bit too pronounced. The wine finishes smooth and dry. Overall, a good wine and recommended for lighter foods.

Tasted without food.
