Circus Malbec - Mendoza, Argentina

Producer: Circus
Varietal: Malbec
Vintage: 2007
Region: Mendoza, Argentina
Price: $14

This was one of the better Argentinian reds I've had at this price point. The Circus Malbec appeared deep in ruby-purplish colour with a somewhat dense and thick clarity. The bouquet smelled of plums and molasses. With round tannins and a hint of spice it had a fairly dry but medium length finish.

Master's starts in a few days marking Tiger's return since the incident. I could give a shit what he does in his personal life. Anybody who's a fan of golf understands that that has nothing to do with the sport. Anything else is for the fair weather fan and the people who watch Extra. Who cares!

I ran into an odd website (in a series of other odd websites): www.hotchickssmilingatgroundzero.com

The first one of the night! A nice full bodied Argentinian Malbec. I don't usually like South American wines but it would be stupid to only tried wines that you knew were "safe" at a wine festival. The bouquet has a nice forward spice with oak, full plum and blackberry notes. The palate brings flavours of cocoa, spice, blackberry, oak, with a long dry finish. The winery is in Mendoza but I'm unsure if the grapes are from that area or not. Oh those crazy Argentinians...
