The color is dark nearly opaque, raspberry jam red. The nose is not shy, rich, ripe blackberry, plum, sour cherry and a little milk chocolate. This is a medium-bodied wine, dry, soft and smooth on the palate. It tastes of black cherry, blackberry, a little licorice, a bit of vanilla and a faint hit of spice on the mid-palate. It shows soft, dusty tannins and the acidity is well-balanced by the body of the wine. The finish mirrors the body of the wine and lasts a reasonable length of time.
The La Finca Oak Aged Malbec 2014 is a very solid wine, especially considering its extremely low price tag. It will appeal more to those who prefer their Malbec to be soft, smooth and fruit forward. But even if soft and smooth isn’t your thing, you have to admire just how good a Malbec they are able to offer for under five bucks. As for pairings, this is a quintessential burgers and pizza wine, no use paying more for the wine than you do for the pizza, when you can grab a $4.49 bottle that hits the spot.
Cheap wine doesn’t do justice to this. It’s cheap in price but has a very elegant taste.
It is very good. Not at all bitter. Smooth and very drinkable!
