Winery review: Intense ruby color. Delicate red fruit and violet aromas interact with classic Malbec spiciness. Soft and round in the mouth with balanced acidity and sweet tannins.
My review: The smell of this wine was very peppery and somewhat "spicy." The taste of this wine was much what I was expecting from the smell -- somewhat bitter, had some heat to it. After letting it sit for a while, it opened up and became a little bit sweeter. With the gouda, much of the bite was removed from the wine. When tried with pasta/meat sauce, the wine almost tasted buttery smooth due to its reaction with the meat.
I tasted this on its own at first, but then tried it once with gouda cheese and then with pasta/meat sauce.
