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.

Trumpeter Malbec 2010, a good value less than 10 bucks kept typical of Tupungato
Trumpeter Malbec 2010, By Rutini Wines (Bodega La Rural), USD 7-10
www.rutiniwines.com
A Malbec from somewhere in Tupungato Valley (Uco Valley) displaying a basic beauty and enough to drink it everyday or with friends on casual meetings.
Fruity and balanced, dark cherries typical of Uco, sweet and mildly sour. Soft chocolaty note. Overall balanced and kept easy to drink. An 87 point Malbec quite appropiate for less than 10 bucks retail. Good value. To enjoy before 4 years old from vintage.
