    Menage a Trois Malbec - Simply Tasty

    By: Jon Thorsen Published: July 9, 2014 Last Updated: March 4, 2021

    2012-Menage-a-Trois-Malbec
    A great wine to pair with a cheeseburger.

    100% Malbec from Mendoza, Argentina.

    Sample submitted for review. SRP of $14 and available widely for $10.

    From the bottle:

    "Sultry, spicy and bold. Malbec sweeps you off your feet in a passionate embrace. Surrender to the pleasure.

    This Malbec entices with every sip. Made from grapes sourced from Argentina's renowned Mendoza region, our Malbec does the tango across your palate with dark, juicy cherry and blueberry flavors kissed by spice, culminating in a plush finish.

    13.2% Alcohol"

    The 2012 Menage a Trois Malbec begins with pleasant aromas filled with ripe blackberry and black cherry fruit. Tasting reveals jammy fruit with similar flavors to the nose. This is a smooth and simple wine that would make a nice match with a cheeseburger or a great party drink. A bit of licorice leads into the medium-long and juicy finish that also features hints of vanilla. Malbec around $10 isn't the slam dunk it used to be, but this wine delivers quite a satisfying experience.
