Tasting - Dona Silvina

3/29/2015


Name: Dona Silvina 
Variety: Malbec
Region: Mendoza
Country: Argentina
Price: $19.95
Year: 2012

Winery review: 
 "Medium-bodied, dry. Bright purple in the glass with a nose and palate of violets, fresh plums, blueberries, and fresh earth. The finish is smooth with soft tannin and a long perfumed finish. Pair with burgers, pizza, panini, Asian cuisine and Latin cuisine." - sipfinewine.com




My Review:  
The smell of this wine reminded me of stones and clay while also providing a strong smell of flowers. The taste consisted of earthy tones, similar to the smell, along with bold flavors of cherries and strawberries on the finish. There was a light tannic taste and a very dry finish that left your mouth with a tart taste. The finish of the wine hung around in your mouth after the tasting providing a floral tart taste that I really did not enjoy. 

I did not taste this wine with food.
