2013 Domaine Barons de Rothschild Aruma Malbec

2013 Aruma MalbecAruma means “night” in the language of the Quechua, the native Indian population of the Mendoza region. The name is appropriate for this deep purple/red wine from Mendoza. Big floral and red fruit aromas. In the mouth, this medium-bodied Malbec is velvety with licorice and dried cherry flavors and peppery notes. Long finish with firm tannins.

Nice, drinkable-now Malbec for a great price.
