Variety: Malbec Rose
Country: Argentina (Mendoza)
Price: $7.95
Vintage Cellar 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: I don't know how I feel about Roses yet. I mostly resent them because I don't know how to get the accent mark of the e in Rose. But in all seriously... What was Arnold Schwarzenegger's favorite wine? Mal-be-bec. ok ok, that was bad and I apologize, so let's get to the wine. The nose on this one was kind of earthy, metallic, and the best way I could describe it was that it smelled like how pennies taste. Hopefully that paints a good picture and everyone experienced that penny taste when they were younger. The taste was very intricate as well. It was quite bitter which led into a spiciness and then finished even more bitter. The fruit aspect throughout was kind of strawberryish. Overall I was not a fan, but I think it might've been expecting more white wine profiles, and instead I got more of red wine aspects and that kind of threw me for a loop.
