Tasting - Sophenia Malbec Altosur

Name:  Sophenia Malbec Altosur
Variety: Malbec
Region: Mendoza
Country: Argentina
Year: 2013
Price: $11

Winery Review: Attractive red color with violet hues. Aromas of intense ripe fruit: cherries, blackberries, blueberries, and fresh plums, combined with spicy and floral hints. In the mouth the sweet and round tannins increase its fruit sensation and balance. Wine of good intensity, concentration and long after taste.


My Review:
This was a nice wine. Pretty big aromas consume the nose. Blackberries and raspberries come through most. The taste was pleasant with hints of cherries, blackberries, plums, and some spice on the back end. It was well-balanced with a smooth, medium finish. I’ve had better Malbecs at or below this price point but not bad on the whole.
