Tasting- Maipe Malbec (red)-

Name: Maipe
Variety: Malbec
Region: Mendoza
Country: Argentina
Year: N/A
Price: $8.95

Shop/wine critic/winery review: Deep purple color with violet tints, complex plum, fig, strawberry, spices and floral aromas; rounded and velvety tannins, excellent length with a distinguished character. Excellent when paired with game, roasted red meats, pasta or pizza.





My review: It’s got a pretty standard red wine smell, there’s really not much to set it apart from any other red. Maybe a little bit of a salty fragrance. The taste is pretty generic as well. The middle is a bit jammy and the end is sort of like salty smoked fruit. Really nothing to put itself apart, this is the type of wine you’d order by saying “I’ll have the red” because red is the only accurate description it’s got.

CONCLUSION: Wouldn’t drink again.


Not tasted with food
