The Wait Malbec Rosé 2008 (7.5/10) ($11)

This is our first Rosé review and the first Malbec Rosé that we have ever tried. We were both excited to check it out. This Argentine has beautiful color in the bottle and in the glass, a brilliant shade of light pink. It smells very sweet in the glass, we found the best way to describe it was candy apple. As per the recommendation on the bottle, we first sipped this chilled and it was pretty disappointing. We waited it out, however, and tried it again at room temperature finding it to be quite enjoyable. We continued to taste the candy flavors, something like a green apple Jolly Rancher with hints of cinnamon. If you like Malbec Rosé, this is worth trying as a value option.

The Wait suggests you try it with salads, pasta, and spicy Asian dishes. We think they were dead on with the Asian dish recommendation. Go for something with ginger, the spices will compliment each other nicely. This was one of the most interesting bottles we have tasted yet, evolving beautifully in the glass. Pour one out and let it sit for a bit, you will be delightfully suprised.

Overall Rating: 7.5/10
