Tasting-Maipe

NameMaipe
Variety: Malbec
Region: Mendoza
Country: Argentina
Year: 2015
Price: Regular $12; Sale $6.95

Winery Review: "The 2015 Maipe Malbec is another 100% Malbec, with a deep purple color and a style similar to the Lexicon, with chocolaty, blackcurrant and blackberry fruit, as well as touches of licorice and earth. It is delicious, soft and round."
- Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (March 2016), 87 pts - Excellent Wine Values for Under $25
My Review: Maipe is deep plum and offers a sweet honeysuckle as well as a thick warm honey scent with undertones of blackberry. This wine was full of tannins, exploding blackberry and rhubarb pie.
Food?:  did not pair with food.
