Tasting notes of a local wine lover without elegant literacy or web design. Just plain wine talk. By the same token I analyze the opened bottle with my senses, just at the very end I re-check the producer (I first checked it when bought it for sure!),vintage,terroir,and price. These data allow me to reconstruct the wine and trace a botton line.

Cafayate Malbec Rose 2010, a good Cafayate Rose to pair the summer
Cafayate Malbec Rose 2010, By Bodegas Etchart, USD 10
Nice and straight Rose of Malbec from Cafayate Valley in Salta Province, Northwest Argentina. Ripe and soft red plum juice and aroma with balance in the palate. Light memories of red cherries and mince jam. Great company lightly cooled to any light colored cool or warm summer dish. A tuna based sushi shoud go perfect.
A 82 points (*) Rose and a good value. To drink before 4 years old.
(*) There is no way any Rose could ever reach the complexity and maturation of a red wine. I would expect the maximal score close to 85-87 at the best, which could be traslated intuitively to 89-91 points for a red (lets say a 4-point span).
