Bodega Norton
Colección Mendoza Malbec
Mendoza, Cuyo, Argentina
Ruby in color with a wide reddish rim and medium intensity.
Fruity nose with blackberries, black currants, plums, smoke, vegetables, light vanilla, fake wood, cloves and spices.
Medium bodied with high acidity.
Fruity on the palate with plums, cherries, strawberries, raspberries, vanilla, vegetables, oak, cloves, chocolates, coffee, peppercorn and spices.
Medium finish with soft tannins, spices and black pepper.
This simple Malbec from Mendoza, Argentina is drinkable now, but needs a little more time in the bottle to calm down. Still unbalanced, spicy and unattractive with a soft mouthfeel. Smells a bit fake on the nose and hot at the back of the throat.
Made with 100% Malbec grapes that were grown at around 3,000 feet elevation.
13% alcohol by volume.

Not a strong nose, and a bit harsh on the palate to start. But I think it opens up - some acidity. Not a very standout wine, but pairs well with food. Decent quality for the price, about $10.

This wine is clean medium Ruby in colour.
The nose is clean with medium intensity. Aromas of cherry, cranberry, plum and vanilla present themselves.
The palate is dry, with medium acid and alcohol. The tannins where medium (+) but smooth. The flavour intensity is also medium with same as on the nose but with a hint of white peppery spice. The body was medium as was the finish.
This is a good quality wine as it was enjoyable but nothing in particular stood out. Drink now but may benefit from a little age.
