Wendouree Malbec 2006

Made by Wendouree in Australia (region: Clare Valley) .

A dry, still, red wine with 13.5% alcohol tasted on 14th Sep 2009.

Grape: Malbec

Quality: Outstanding

Value: A Little Excessive

Cost: Usually between $42.99 - $99.99.

Looks: Good dark crimson colour, with a medium to full look to it

Smells: Lovely - good mulberry fruit with a hint of dark cherry

Feels: Medium to full bodied mouthfeel

Tastes: Lovely wine. Solid spine of acidity and firm, crunchy tannins. Having said that, it is still easy to drink right now - although I would love to see it with some years under the belt. Fruit is vibrant, complex and racey - mulberry and dark berry. A nice hint of smoke and very very subtle cedar tone. Length is long and strong. Great wine.
