Tasting - Santa Juilia Malbec 2012



Name: Santa Julia Malbec
Variety: Malbec
Region: Mendoza
Country: Argentina
Year: 2012
Price: $8.95

Review: The nose is full of mellow raspberry and cherry, while the palate is fleshy and round, with blackberry and a touch of raisin. Plump, not edgy, and ready to drink, with coffee and mocha notes on the finish.

My Review: This wine was pretty dank smelling to me, which is a strong word to use but I think it described the wine aptly. There were also distinct smells of cherry on the nose. The taste of the wine was not as dank as the smell and was much more enjoyable than the nose. It had an oaky finish with nice tannins to round it out.
