Tasting - Omnium Malbec

Name: Omnium Malbec
Variety: Malbec
Country: Argentina
Region: Mendoza
Year: 2012
Price: $8.99

Tasting Notes: Deep garnet color. Attractive aromas of chocolate coffee bean, caramel cake, and raspberry-cherry pie with a silky, dry-yet-fruity medium-to-full body and a tangy, sour cherry, honey, and peppery spice finish. A fruity, juicy crowd-pleasing malbec that delivers taste and value.

My review: This medium bodied Malbec from Argentina has a great blend of cherries, dark cherries, and coffee on the nose. There's a sour finish that lingers for a while overwhelming the pleasant fruitiness unfortunately, so it might be better if aged slightly or allowed to breathe for a few hours.

I had this wine without food.
