Belhara Estate Mendoza 2021 Malbec, $8.99, 90 points, poured an opaque purple/red color with a broad clear meniscus and compact neckless of legs.
Aromas of blueberries, perfumed blackberries, cinnamon, and pine resin were lovely.
As is true with most Malbec red wines, this was full-bodied, smooth with soft tannins, fair acidity, but the flavors which were reflective of the aromas were better than average and accented with ripe mulberry and red pepper.
Finished long on the trailing palate, licorice, and a well-balanced 13.5% alcohol.
Paired perfectly with my spice-rubbed rib eye.
Another Trader Joe's offering with an excellent QPR.
