Vintage Cellar Tasting - Maipe

  • Name: Maipe
  • Variety: Malbec
  • Region: Mendoza
  • Country: Argentina
  • Year: 2011
  • Price: $7.95
  • Shop Review: Intense pink color with violet hints.  Fresh red fruit bouquet, strawberry and cherry flavors, balanced acidity, dry and lingering finish.  Excellent with tuna or green salad, pasta, spicy Asian dishes.
  • My Review: In my attempt at writing notes I said that this wine smelled "sweety with light spicey."  I was in a rush, so no judging.  But yeah, this was a nice smelling wine, very tempting.  And the aromas proved to be quite precise to its flavors, it was extremely good, nice and sweet with a hint of strawberry and very warm to the mouth probably from the spice flavors.
  • They tell us all these tasty foods it would go with, well then give em to us!  Geez, don't tempt us with the mouth watering sensations of food pairings if you're not gonna provide!
