Tinto Negro Malbec 2018 Review
This is the Malbec you are looking for. This is a gem on the shelf that is affordable and damn delicious. This is a bottle you bring to the thing and people ask who brought it and give you a “sup” nod. It’s the perfect BYOB, backyard BBQ, game night, burgers, pizza, convo all night, pajama jammy jam wine. It’s balanced and peppery with blackberries and plum aromas, but what really shines is the lofty acidity that holds the wine up, not weighing you down. Oh, and it’s under screw cap, WIN WIN!
