Terrenal Mendoza Malbec KPM 2007 13 % alcohol about $9.50.
There were no marketing materials so let’s start by quoting the back label. “Origin: This wine is made from grapes harvested in Mendoza at the foothills of the Andes Mountains. The unique combination of excellent weather and soil characteristics of this valley allows grapes to achieve ideal ripening conditions.“ And now for my review.
At the first sips this wine was somewhat flat and light in acidity. It tasted of dark plums. I started with Japanese rice crackers that improved the drink’s acidity. With a Wasabi pea its acidity became OK. The initial meal was a boxed Ziti Siciliano that I doused with grated Parmesan cheese. This Argentinian was short with harsh acidity; it was too sour. On the positive side it was oaky and displayed dark fruit. Fresh strawberries overwhelmed this liquid.
