Tasting - "Redwood Creek California Malbec"

Name: Redwood Creek
Variety: Malbec
Region: California
Country: USA
Year: 2014
Price: $6.00

Winery review: "Plush flavors of dark fruit coupled with hints of maple and star anise give our Malbec a velvet finish."

My review: Right away I got a very sweet , light, cherry/possibly plum smell.  It has a rich fruity and sugary taste, and a surprisingly smooth finish.  The smell and flavor are soft and smooth, which must explain why it is described as having a velvet finish.  Not a big fan of this one, it was too sweet for me.  I'll try another Malbec in the future to see if that's a property of the grape or just this wine.
