Ruta 22 Malbec Tasting

Name: Veleta Brut Vino Espuoso Rosado   
Variety: Malbec 
Region: 
Patagonia 
Country:
 Argentina 
Year:
 NV 
Price:
 $3.95


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: The smell of this wine was kind of weird. We couldn't define what we were smelling. After reading the description we could kind of pick up some of the caramel scents. The taste was kind of sour, with a dry finish. I still have not come around to liking dry reds so this is not a wine I would buy.
