Tsating - Ruta 22 Malbec

Name: Ruta 22 Malbec
Variety: Malbec
Region: Patagonia
Country: Argentina
Year: N/A
Price: $7.95

Winery 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. - Vintage Cellar Tasting Notes  

My review: I definitely pick up the blackberry in this wine. However, it was way too dry for my liking. And, it was the kind of dry that leaves your mouth gasping for water. Not my favorite. I haven't really gotten into Malbec's but I'd like to continue to experiment!
