Norton Malbec Reserva

As the week begins to wrap up, I tend to start to craving something inky and full bodied. Tonight, Bodega Norton Malbec Reserva 2017 will be how I get my fix. Sometimes it’s only right to treat yourself to a rare filet and a glass of this inky delight. Obviously, I won’t be cooking the filet, but you can bet I’m a master bottle opener.

ORIGIN

Lujan de Cuyo, Uco Valley, Mendoza, Argentina

Grapes

Malbec

Tasting Notes

Intense red color with purplish hues. In the nose, it is an expressive wine with ripe black fruits, violets, spices and tobacco. In the mouth, it is wide and fleshy with a lingering finish.
