Vistalba Corte C
70% Malbec, 20% Merlot, 10% Bonarda
$10-$17 on Wine-searcher, but 3 vendors for $11 or less

Nice ruby color but young, with few overtones, especially of darker colors.

Light on the aroma. There is a subtle smell of fruits and rocks, but it’s very slight.

Interesting taste. The wine acidic, bitter, smooth and light, all at the same time. Not overpowering at all. Still, it’s one-dimensional in terms of flavor, emphasizing a bitterness oakiness that is rather bland. It is still not bad for a cheap drink, however.

Overall Score: 3.5/5.0. More of a 3.9 for value.
