Urban Uco Malbec 2008 - $12



Malbec from Mendoza

David: Dark purple. Fresh blackberry nose with a little sweet oak. Slightly floral. Medium to full bodied. Decent acidity with a little sweetness. Big blackberry, cherry fruit dominates the attack with big round tannins making an appearance followed by a hint of black pepper. A likable fruit driven wine if not terribly complex.
Score: 3.9/5

Jessica: Full bodied. High alcohol. Big dark fruit. Medium finish; seems to lack complexity. Tannins present but do not stand up to the powerful fruit which dominates.
Score: 3:8
