Shop/wine critic/winery review:
     Delicious Malbec is 100% from Mendoza, Argentina. It has a vibrant red color with violet tones. Subtle and delicious aromas with an intense mixture of red fruits, plum and cherry jam. On the palate it’s juicy and has intense wood-like tannins that make it a rustic, yet versatile wine. Long finish.


My Review:  
    This particular wine presents a dark ruby/garnet color, and a fruity scent almost like good raspberry jam. Upon tasting, this wine has a very present but smooth fruitiness. The wine also causes a noticeable tingling on the side of the tongue, but still has a smooth finish. This wine is slightly tannic, and presents a slight peppery-ness, but is overall a rather pleasant wine. 79/100
