One of the many interesting things about wine is how people describe the taste. Minerally, chalky, peppery, smoky, gamey, all kinds of descriptions I never would have associated with a drink.
I finally tried the Colores Del Sol malbec I mentioned the other day. I don't know what came over me but I actually wanted a red wine. This wine is pretty great. It's a bit high in tannins and dry for my taste; my cheeks feel like I bit into a lemon. But the tartness is completely made up for by the fact that it has a come-and-go smoky taste. AND, even better, I swear it has a peppery taste and finish as well. I started drinking this wine too cold - the longer it sat in the glass and warmed up the more I could taste the different flavors in the wine and the more I liked it.
Long and short of it is that although this isn't one of my favorite wines I've had I will definitely explore malbec wines a bit more and I would recommend you this wine. That's pretty high praise for a red wine from a white wine drinker like me!
