Who is your Daddy Now Ruta 22 Malbec

Ruta 22 Malbec is another fantastic wine from the Lurton family.  Known mainly for beautiful French Boedeaux this is an example of their South American side.  Ruta 22 is the main highway running through Argentina. And, like most wines of Patagonia it is intense in color and flavor.  A dark ruby red . Ruta 22 has a nose that blows you away as soon as you pop the cork.  Ripe, elegant aromas of ripe red berries and wild flowers. A lovely  scent that beckons you to partake of its bounty.  This full bodied wine has such a mouth.  Wow that is all I can say.  Smoky, with cranberry and blackberry. Hints of a sweet vanilla, and licorice flavor.
I paired this wine with with roast pork, green beans and spiced butternut squash. The squash is seasoned with an Indian spice , garam masala.  The first time I worked with this spice , but I certainly will again.  Beautiful fragrance, but spicy. 
Enjoy.
Are you hungry now...
