Tasting - Maipe Malbec Rose


Name: Maipe Malbec Rose
Variety: Malbec
Region: Mendoza
Country: Argentina
Year: 2011
Price: $7.95

Shop/wine critic/Winery 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: So first thing to note on this wine is that it actually not sweet.  I got some sweetness on the nose that was a little hidden but it was not really even semi-sweet by my standards.  The smell of this was cherry, but more like red cherries so not very strong.  In the taste, it had a little more flavor than the Cortenova before it but was still very light.  It almost seemed to me to have a single flavor profile so was a little bit boring. It was fine but nothing to write home about (or really to write on the blog about)
