Layer Cake 2008 Malbec. $14.99
Another amazing wine from Layer Cake — big and bold, yet well balanced and complex.
Nose: Big and smokey with earthy black cherries and nicotine. “Explodes with aroma.” Everything you could want in a wine.
Taste: Delicious! Dark jammy berries/cherries, a little mocha, a little spice. A big, meaty mouthful. An absolute pleasure to drink.
Food: We did two unusual, but delicious, pairings. First, we tried it with Trader Joe’s organic cheddar — more as a palette cleanser than anything else — and wow – big cherry flavors and a smooth and creamy mouthfeel. Second, we tried it with smoke paprika salmon. It still had its bigger character, yet it balanced very well with the meal.
Layer Cake Malbec is an outstanding wine.
