La Posta Tinto Red Blend 2017

An Argentine red blend consisting of 60% Malbec, 20% Bonarda and 20% Syrah. Have seen this label many times and decided to go for it. Musty, earthy aromas of mushroom, black olive and red berries. Much more fruit forward than I had expected. The Syrah is only 20% and the Malbec 60% but it comes across with more Syrah punch than Malbec. Lots of berry flavors with just a hint of the earthiness that came across on the nose. Not a wine that will become a “house” wine for me, but for $12.99, it is not bad.
