Ultra Mendoza Malbec
Mendoza, Cuyo, Argentina
A nice Malbec, especially for under twenty bucks. A bit weak on the nose with some blackberry, currant and spice notes. First taste is surprisingly lush with a lot of fruit. Some acidity and a short finish with a hint of tannin.

Blackberry, currant, subtle oak on the nose. Well structured with nicely integrated tannins and a smooth finish to this purple Malbec. Quite nice indeed.

Good stuff. Holds up to the chili cook-off at which it was served.

Dec 8th, 2013Great value Malbec, can't really go wrong. Not astonishing but won't let you down either given some time to open up. Well balanced, plummy & dark berries coming through.

Mar 26th, 2014Fruity to start with a strong finish. If I had to choose however, my preference would be Punto Final. Si! Me gusta esta vino!
