Wine Tasting - Maipe Malbec



Name:  Maipe

Variety:  Malbec
Region:  Mendoza
Country:  Argentina
Year:  2015
Price:  $7
Winery review:  The 2015 Maipe Malbac 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)
Additional winemaker notes:  I picked up blackberry and licorice, which I'd never tasted before in a wine.  It was very dry and tannic, and also earthy.  I did not try this wine with food.
