Tasting -- Fetzer Malbec

Name: Fetzer Malbec
Variety: 100% Malbec
Region: Mendoza
Country: Argentina
Year: 2011
Price: $7.95

Winery review: "Delicious Malbec is 100% from Mendoza, Argentina. It has a vibrant red color with violet tones. Subtle and delicious aromas with an intense mixture of red fruits, plum and cherry jam. On the palate it’s juicy and has intense wood-like tannins that make it a rustic, yet versatile wine. Long finish"

My review: A deep ruby/maroon look to this one. Upon sniffage I get a sense of a deep fruit (plum and cherry, maybe pear) with a spicy kick. On my tongue this one did some work, as it tasted of black currant and cherry. I did observe some heat that I feel was a bit of a detriment to the wine overall. Interesting spicy feels to it. Would serve to kids who drink natty light.
