Wine Tasting: Mendoza Cupcake Vineyards Malbec

Mendoza Cupcake Vineyards Malbec

Variety: Malbec

Region: Mendoza

Country: Argentina

Year: 2012

Price: $9.99

Review:  "A round, full palate with a touch of creaminess yields into flavors reminiscent of a dark chocolate flourless cupcake accented with fresh berries. Enjoy with aged prime beef with crumbled bleu cheese or Cajun eggplant on the grill"

My Review: This strong red wine had a long, bitter finish, and was very dry.  It had an acidic, woody flavor, accompanied by nice plum/prune scent.  A very welcoming little wine.
