Árido 2012 Sustainably Farmed Malbec (Mendoza)

Country: Argentina / Sustainably Farmed
Variety: Malbec Mendoza Province
Winery: Árido / Mendoza

This smells a bit stalky and murky, without much pop or freshness to the nose. A medium-bodied palate feels about right, while this tastes earthy, stalky and like roasted plum. Herbal notes come up on the finish.
