Tasting- Terra Sparkling Malbec

Name: Terra Sparkling Malbec
Variety: 100% Malbec
Region: Mendoza
Country: Argentina
Year: 2010
Price: $13.95

Winery Review: Intense red with blue tones and a very bright, giving origin to violet bubbles. Red fruits in nose, cranberry, plums, and a touch of toasted bread and almond, which are the typical red wine aromas. It has a balanced acidity and sugar. Adorned with red fruits, a lot of greasiness and tannins that give a firm structure which characterizes the Malbec wine.

My Review: This Malbec wine had a very strong aroma of dark fruits, like plum and blackberry. For a red, it tasted surprisingly fruity. These berry flavors combined with an unexpected sweetness making the wine nicely balanced. I did not detect any hint of what could be called "greasiness" but it was a heavier red, in my opinion.

I tasted this wine on its own without food.
