Potluck Sweet Malbec

Potluck
Sweet Malbec
2010
$7.95
Mendoza, Argentina

Winery Review:  Deep red brilliant with violet hints. Complex, fruity, and predominant red fruits. Easy to drink, round with persistent sweetness, very well balanced with sweet tannins.

Personal Review:  Smells like Kool Aid. Hints of cherries, blackberries, and strawberries all are present in the aromas. Tastes similar, but with a slight spice. No tartness or bitterness can be detected but the higher alcoholic content of the wine is a little much for such a sweet red, especially one served as a dessert or finishing wine. Would be best served with food rather than alone.
