Santa Julia Malbec


Name: Santa Julia Malbec
Variety: Malbec
Region: Mendoza
Country: Argentina
Year: 2012
Price: $8.95 
Winery 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: On the nose, the wine had scents of blackberry, cherry, and raspberry. The taste of the wine centered around the blackberry flavor with a hint of coffee aftertaste. The combination of those flavors, for me, made the wine a little bitter and unenjoyable. I don't think coffee at all, therefore the aftertaste of coffee was not something I liked. This was my least favorite wine for this week. 
Food Pairing: None
