Tasting - Mountain Door

Name: Mountain Door
Variety: Malbec
Country: Argentina
Region: Mendoza
Year: 2013
Price: $9.99

Tasting Notes: Dark red with violet hues. Fruity notes of morello cherries and raspberries, combined with hints of vanilla. A plush core of plum, raspberry, and cherries. Soft, with great balance in the palate and round tannins. The finish is persistent and harmonious. Mountain Door Malbec is excellent with grilled steak, chick and wild salmon.

My review: For as cheap as this wine is, its actually suprisingly good.  This Argentinian wine reminded me of fruit covered in soil and dirt, and then later with pepper.  Really makes you think about the terroir where its grown!  The finish was nice as well.  Very smooth, with no harsh tannins and a plummy aftertaste.

I had this wine without food.
