Winery review (from NakedWines.com): Mauricio's Malbec is an Angel-favorite masterpiece overflowing with rich, dark berry flavors and a sultry finish.
It's a modern smooth red.
Hello, horsepower. These rich reds are gunning with rich, ravishing and refined flavors... and practically bursting with sumptuous charm!
Wines that are rounded out with a smidge of oak age are standard here, like Zinfandel, Grenache and Tempranillo.
Wine Folly: from pp. 125-126 (Malbec) and 126 (Mendoza, AG): Wines are loved for their bold fruit flavors and smooth, chocolatey finish.
My review: This wine had a rich, woody taste. I didn't taste much specific fruit, but there was some tartness. As noted in the textbook, I felt the wine was mildly acidic and certainly on the dry side. However, I don't know that I could pick out the body of the wine especially well. I would have considered it a bit lighter in body, but that likely reflects my lack of understanding and feel for wine body. This wine was moderately enjoyable. It didn't have the sweetness that I enjoy, nor did it have particularly defined flavors to make up for this, which made it a little bland for my liking.
