2008 Benegas Libertad Vineyards Malbec


I've tasted this malbec before so this was nothing new to me. The price was as it was $20 here in WA but rather only $14 in NJ so that was kind of a let down. Damn 3-tier system.

The color is something you don't want to spill on the counter top, it will stain. A very balanced wine in that the acidity, tannins and fruit are working together. It's not a fruit bomb nor is it a tannin fest. Rich black-vine fruit with some notes of light-green leaves. I think it adds to the flavor. Finish was pretty full-bodied yet seems very delicate. Just seemed to roll on for a bit. Now if I could remember if it came in a wood box? Love it.
