Tasting - Blackstone Malbec

Blackstone Malbec
Name: Blackstone Winemaker's Select
Variety: Malbec
Region: Mendoza
Country: Argentina
Year: 2011
Price: $10.99

Winery review: This wine is blended in the signature Blackstone style: smooth, flavorful and balanced. Subtle aromas of rose petal are supplemented bu the rich fruit flavors of plum and blueberry. The finish is lush and spicy, with hints of vanilla.

My review: The nose of this wine was spicy and had qualities of a blazing campfire. The taste was delightful with hints of both black and white pepper, blackberries, and tobacco. A unique Mendoza Malbec!
