Name: Ruta 22 Malbec
Variety: Malbec
Region: Patagonia

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.
My Review: Right off the bat, the dark berry aroma stood out. I've never tasted or smelled cassis, so I wasn't quite sure what my palate was sensing, but this Malbec was surprisingly light. After the initial fruit faded, the caramel lingered, giving the wine a nice sweet finish.
