Ruca Malen 2013 Reserva Malbec (Mendoza)

Country: Argentina / Reserva
Variety: Malbec Mendoza Province
Winery: Ruca Malen / Mendoza

Smoky, gritty black cherry and blackberry aromas are herbal and smell a bit like road tar. This is flush on the palate at first, then more tight and tannic. Flavors mostly reflect the nose, meaning this tastes gritty, peppery, toasted and herbal, with spicy berry flavors rolling out over the finish.
