Maipe Malbec


Name: Maipe
Variety: Malbec
Region: Mendoza
Country: Argentina
Year: 2015
Price: $12, on sale for $6.95
Shop/Critic/Winery Review: "The 2015 Maipe Malbec is another 100% Malbec, with a deep purple color and a style similar to the Lexicon, with chocolaty, blackcurrant and blackberry fruit, as well as touches of licorice and earth. It is delicious, soft and round."
- Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (March 2016), 87 pts - Excellent Wine Values for Under $25

My impressions: Cherry pie. Jam.  The nose is nice.  Very dark in flavor, with good amounts of fruit coming through.
