Nieto Senetiner, Malbec, 2007,Mendoza, Argentina, $11.99
Opening with a nose of plum and ripe cherries, accompanied by aromas of black pepper and just enough oak, this is definitely a ‘go-to’ Malbec. The first sip will deliver plenty of those black pepper aromas to your taste buds, complimented by big juicy fruit, and hints of super dark cocoa. Its a fairly heavy red with a wonderfully full mouth feel, and soft tannins. The lengthy finish is primarily made up of pepper and oak, with subtle cherry. If your looking for something east to pair it with, throw some seasoned cubed steak, red and green peppers, and some chopped onions into a foil bag, and let it roast on the grill. Dinner and wine in under 30 minutes!
