Winery: Bodega Elena De Mendoza
Varietal: Malbec
Composition: 100% Malbec

Date Purchased: 1/31/2015
Location Purchased: Publix
Cost: $8.99 but purchased as a BOGO taking bottle cost down to $4.50 per bottle
Date Consumed: 5/20/2015

Review/Notes: We had this with spicy italian sausage. Not the most inspired pairing in the world but it became much nicer after dinner was finished. It is mellow and soft with a hint of fruit, maybe blackberry. A good summer wine as it is smooth and refreshing.

Location Purchased: Publix
Cost: $8.99 BOGO, $4.50 a bottle

IMG_1999Bodega Norton Coleccion Malbec purchased on 1/27/2015 at Publix for $8.39, but it was also BOGO bringing this cost per bottle down to $4.20! Consumed on 1/28/2015.

We went with the Malbec as we were having nachos for dinner. This wine complemented the nachos nicely. It was a bit fruity without being overstated. Overall a mild selection, wouldn’t suggest it to go with a more robust dinner but it works well with less bold entrees.

It did not pair quite as well with the lemon bar I had for dessert. The lemon bar was sort of overwhelming to the palate and brought out a bit more acidity in the wine.
