Tasting - Alamos

Name: Alamos
Variety: Malbec
Region: Mendoza
Country: Argentina
Year: 2013
Price: $7.99

Total Wine Review: 
The nose offers bright black cherry aromas with light floral notes and a touch of toast. The mouthfeel is full and rich, with ripe, concentrated cassis and black raspberry fruit flavors interwoven with a touch of chocolate and sweet spice from light oak aging. 

My Review: 
I have never so strongly identified an aroma than I did with this wine. I smelled straight up roasted tomatoes and green beans, which made me think this would be a great wine to pair with steak dinner. The taste was very smokey and smooth, but not very acidic. 

I did not have any food while tasting this wine.
