Tasting - Fetzer Malbec



Name:  Fetzer Malbec
Variety:  100% Mendoza
Year: 2011
Region:  Mendoza
Country:  Argentina
Price:  $7.95 (sale)  $15 (regular)

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 red wine had a very alcoholic smell, which seemed to mask any of its underlying flavors.  After I tasted it, I noted how smooth the wine was.  The texture, along with the slight cherry taste, tended to linger on the palate.  I did not taste this wine with food.
