Name: Ruta 22
Variety: Malbec
Region: Patagonia
Country: Argentina
Year: 2011
Price: $7.95
Shop Review: Stout and dense from the beginning, with blackberry and violet aromas. Despite being a bold and dark malbec, this is fresh and composed, with sweet blackberry and cassis flavors. Good on the finish, with candied fruit and caramel sweetness.
My Review: A nice deep purple color to the wine. Smelled like blackberries and maulberries. The flavor was earthy but not nearly as much so as the last wine. also got a hint of cherries as well as very tannicy. Good wine but too expensive for the occassion. I lost my spunk near the end of these reviews, I'm absolutely exhausted, have a ton of work to complete, and two more get-togethers by the end of this weekend. This is energy absorbing. Nap time!
