Malbec

Varietal: Malbec

Vintage: 2014

Country of Origin: Chile

Appellation: Colchagua Valley

Retail Price: $11

Tasting Notes: Dark ruby color in the glass. Intense ripe cherry notes upfront that fade rather quickly. Medium body that finishes rather delicate and short. Would make a nice accompaniment to a good juicy cheeseburger.

Wine Rating System

Our reviewers are given a topic (varietal, drinking occasion, price) six times a year and asked to select 3-5 wines that fit that criteria for review. Wine reviews include brief tasting notes, a rating and the wine’s retail price (which can vary from store to store and market to market). Unless noted otherwise, the price reflects a 750-ml. bottle. If you’re a beverage professional with a specialty in wine and you’re interested in participating in the panel, please contact managing editor Kyle Swartz at kswartz@epgmediallc.com or 203-855-8499 x2225.
