Espuela Del Gaucho

Malbec
Argentina
2009

It us a full-bodied, plum colored wine. We've had a bunch of Malbecs lately - and I think this is the first we both say "No" to.

Colin: The initial taste is deceptive, because you think this is going to be a strong wine. Once you fully taste it, you realize that this wine is very transparent and gives way to alcoholic emptiness. With food, this wine mildly redeems itself, but still isn't worthy of calling itself a Malbec.
Rating: 1 out of 10 glasses

Rachel: It's too sour, too harsh on the palette and all you can taste is alcohol. It smells as harsh as it tastes. If you like wine to kick you awake... It id really just not worth the money.
Rating: 2 out of 10 glasses

Aerate: Colin - No // Rachel - half aerated, half not made this a slightly better wine

Where can I find it?
Ralphs, or your local grocer

Cost: $5.66 on sale, originally $10.99
