4/4 Tasting - Ruta 22 Malbec

Name: Ruta 22 Malbec
Variety: Malbec
Region/Country: Patagonia, Argentina
Year: NV
Price: $7.95

Shop's Review: 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 smelled like raisins, dark berries, and dried flowers.  It was a dry wine with earthy and floral hints.  It had a tart finish.  I really didn't care for this wine.

I did not drink this wine with food.
