La Posta Malbec 06

Pizezella Family Vineyard, La Consulta, Mendoza; $16

The bouquet comprises spice box and exotic scents. Light body, very little tannin. Magenta color. Flavors linger for quite a long time. It's fantastic. There was a bit of sediment in the neck due to BevMo's careless treatment of wine (this should've been in the bottom corner if it was racked properly and wouldn't be a problem if poured slowly or decanted). All in all, it's a very easy-going wine with nice exotic flavors which makes it a pleasure to drink (I drank it with pita bread and red-pepper hummus and it didn't overwhelm the light meal).
