Tasting-Potluck Sweet Malbec


Name: Potluck Sweet Malbec
Variety: 100% Malbec
Region: Mendoza
Country: Argentina
Year: 2010
Price: $7.95
Shop review: “Deep red brilliant with violet hints. Complex, fruity, and predominant red fruits. Easy to drink, round with persistent sweetness, very well balanced with sweet tannins..” (Vintage Cellar, Blacksburg VA)

My review: The smell was distinctly of grapes and ripe fruits.  It smelled like a berry smoothie.  The taste however, was not sweet like I had anticipated from the name.  It was not dry though, and did not have distinct tannins.  The taste reaffirmed what I smelled; I could taste berry flavors resembling flat sparkling grape juice.

I drank this without food, but I was told it would go well with chocolate.
