Argentina, 2009, Malbec
First you’ll notice the bright ruby color, followed by aromas of blackberry, cassis, spices and pepper. Densely packed and strong in extract, this 2009 Malbec presents complex berry flavors, a light saline quality, yet not particularly sweet in style due to the firm acidity and nice integration of the oak element.
Bodega Norton
Argentina, 2009, Malbec
The Bodega Norton 2009 Malbec shows a deep red color with hints of violet to give it a rich full-bodied look. You’ll experience the sweet and spicy aromas of black pepper and a taste on the palate of ripe, red fruit with smooth, harmonious tannins.
