Domaine Bousquet Natural Origins Malbec

An organic, boxed malbec that drinks like malbec from a bottle which is welcome news for those of you like me who tend to be skeptical of boxed wines.

Deep-intensity purple in color, this wine has an aromatic, medium-plus-intensity nose of blackberry, red currant, black plum and kirsch with hints of sage brush and violet blossom.

On the palate the dry, medium-plus-bodied malbec has medium-intensity, red-and-black-fruit flavors suggested on the nose supported by medium acidity and ripe, medium tannin.

The wine is mostly straightforward with ripe fruit and a solid depth of flavor.

Definitely worth trying and pairing with grilled meats.
