Andean Vineyards Reserve Malbec 2020
Mendoza, ArgentinaThis malbec opens with a smoky, peppery, black fruit nose. The palate is more red fruit than black, with plums and black cherries, leading to a savoury mix of roasted coffee and dried herbs. Simple, rustic, yet well made, this would be a fun party red all summer at the barbecue. Tannins are moderate, with a finish of smoky oak and sweet spices. Turkey is the winery pick; chicken is my barbecue pick. Ready to drink.Tasted: 10 March 2023Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $20.99 | 750ml | select private retailers |
