title: Rutini 2013 Malbec (Mendoza)
description: Big and blocky up front, this tough Malbec smells like pencil lead, dusty berry fruits and herbs. The palate, typical of most Rutini wines, is grabby and clampy, with piercing acidity and rock-hard tannins. Flavors of minty oak shadow berry fruit, while char and mint flavors steer the finish.
variety: Malbec
