*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from Bin Ends Wine in order to participate in the Twitter Taste Live.
Oh yes folks, I promised lots of Argentina and here’s some more! Hope you aren’t tired yet cause I found some real winners among the Argentinian wines, and this is one of them! I have no idea why I never really explored Argentina before for good bargain wines…between Chile and Argentina, it appears South America is primed to take over the bargain $10-$20 sweet spot for wines. We had another Malbec for the first Twitter Taste Live, the 2007 Bodega Colomé Malbec Estate. It had a real cork closure and weighed in at 15% alcohol by volume.
On the nose I got blueberry, blueberry crumble, cream, white pepper, crushed violets, black cherry, and boysenberry. I want my next pie to smell like the nose of this wine. In the mouth, I found it to be almost Syrah like. I found black plum, black cherry, more blueberry crumble, pepper, blueberry, boysenberry, earth, and a little anise. It had a long finish with some tannins hanging out on the end. YUM!
