Bodega Colome Autentico Malbec 2017 Review

This is a simple, and easy drinking Malbec, with no frills. It’s soft on the palate, with a significant slather of oak. Actually, oak seems to be the most influential part of the wine. The fruit is deep and dark, the tannin is non-existent, and the acidity is high, so the sweet wood vanilla takes center stage. For a backyard BBQ, or just grilling up some steaks or a burger, it’s a good crowd pleasing companion.
