The last wine this week was a sweet Malbec from Potluck, also from the Mendoza Province in Argentina. This was a 2010 vintage, couple years old. There isn't a lot to say about this wine, everything about it is pretty self-explanatory. The shop's notes are short and are as follows: 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.
Very sweet smelling, this wine would be a great dessert wine. It smelled like cherries, like pure cherry juice. It was very sweet, but not painfully so. Overall, a pretty boring wine, tasting a little like strawberries and cherries. Would be great with a chocolate cake, or some nice truffles. $7.95 at the Vintage Cellar.
