David:
Maipe was the ancient Andean Indian lord of the winds. These wind swept vineyards of Mendoza, in the foothills of the Andes, are among the worlds highest in altitude (over 3000 feet).
Purple in color, not too dark. Nose had a hint of earthiness, maybe leather, at first but seemed to get more fragrant, flowery (violets?) and fruity as it breathed. Lovely black cherry and raspberry fruit fill the mouth. Stays tart and fruity, almost like gamay, not earthy or spicy like many Malbecs. Round tannins stay mild with some oak and integrate well with the fruit. A great value.
Score: 4.0/5
Jessica: Nose includes vanilla and dark fruits. This wine was really enjoyable because it was not too bitter but seemed well balanced. The tannins are not overbearing. There is some earthiness, a note of a sodden forest.
Score: 4.1/5
