Odisea Malbec2021
Odisea · Uco Valley
Notes of spicy peppercorn and chili chocolate over fresh, rich blackberries and blueberries. The juicy, full-bodied palate is tightly wound by firm, nicely chewy tannins, with a fresh, expressive finish. (Tasting note as printed on the sheet, credited to James Suckling.)
Pairs with: Barbecue ribs, meat pizza and beef tacos. Its fruity, rounded profile makes for relaxed pairings with grilled meats and slightly sweet sauces.
