Yellow Tail Malbec

Appearance: Bright with a deep purple color core that is consistent to the rim. It is almost violet or bluish highlights.

Nose: The aromas are pronounced red fruits with a "brambly" impression (This could be my imagination). There is also the hint of ripe black cherry.

Palate: Dry, medium(+) body with pronounced black cherry (very ripe sweet fruit). There is a low level of soft tannins accompanied by a medium level of acidity. There is no indication of alcohol burn.

Finish/Length: The finish is clean and the length is short with no lingering flavors.

Conclusions: Aways on sale in most stores (between US$6.00 to US$ 8.00), this is a wine is has very ripe fruit flavors and lacks structure. If you do not like the "astringency" of tannins (the drying sensation on your gums) and prefer your wine having a slightly sweet character, this wine is perfect for you.

Producer Tasting Note: [yellow tail] Malbec is packed with rich berry flavors, dark spice and pepper. Oak maturation adds a delicious balance of chocolate and vanilla flavors and the texture is soft and round with a long and persistent finish.
