Maipe_malbecrose_newlabel.jpg - Maipe Malbec Rose 2011
 
Name: Maipe Malbec Rose
Variety: Malbec
Region: Mendoza
Country: Argentina
Year: 2011
Price: $7.95
 
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: The nose was very fresh and colorful. The initial taste was fruity and sweet. The nose did not reflect the finish. The description states a balanced acidity, but I thought it was too acidic. I would love to taste it with a complementary dish and overcome the longing acidic aftertaste.
 
I did not have it with any food.
