Vintage Cellar Tasting - Potluck

• Name: Potluck
• Variety: Sweet malbec
• Region: Mendoza
• Country: Argentina
• Year: 2010
• Price: $7.95
• Shoppe Review: Deep red and brilliant with violet hints.  Complex, fruity, and predominant red fruits.  Easy to drink, round with persistent sweetness, very well balanced with sweet tannins.
• My Review: Smells of this come off as extremely sweet, sugary, and I got the hint of cherries.  But upon tasting this wine, I was surprised to find not as strong of a sweetness to the flavor as was in the aroma.  Don't get me wrong, it was definitely sweet, being a sweet malbec wine it better be, but the aromas were stronger than the flavors.  Honestly, I got a kind of charcoal flavor with the sweetness, I like to define it as a charcoal sweet flavor.  Yummmm, like I'm out back grillin' a bottle of vino, or perhaps a malbec grape on open charcoal heat.  Good stuff man.
• If I was grillin' there would be food, but I wasn't at the time.
