Jones Winery and Vineyard Rutherglen Malbec, 2019

 

Malbec has become very popular in the United States--so much so that I tend to avoid it, wine snob that I am. After tasting this 2019 Malbec from Jones Winery & Vineyard in Rutherglen Australia, I decided that Malbec is worth another look.

Beautiful bright crimson color. Ripe red cherry, intense aromas and flavors. Rutherglen is a particularly warm area of Australia, best known for its dessert wines, but this 2019 Malbec has surpringly good acidity. Medium bodty, great texture, long finish that gets better and better over the course of the meal.
