Smelled pretty strong, I smelled some black berries and spice. Not a bad wine overall, and I enjoyed my second glass much more, possible because the wine needed some time? A middle of the road taste for me, not very bitter and nice for a bottle that is easy to drink. — a year ago

Don’t have much to say here. It was on the bolder side, and I think solid is the best way to describe it. For $12 it wasn’t bad, and wasn’t good. I would not recommend it, nor buy it again. Paired it with a filet mignon and it was just underwhelming — a year ago

Tried this in class and I am glad to have tasted, as this is absolutely not for me. It was far too sweet. On a more positive note, I could see someone with a sweeter tooth enjoying a glass or two, however anything more than that would make me sick based on the sugar content alone, which I remember to be around .2%. The wine had notes of citrus, which I look for in whites, but overall it was too sweet for my palate, and I typically look for a more dry white. — a year ago

Josh makes great wine, however this is not one of them. It tasted absolutely awful, so much so that I questioned whether it had gone bad. I attempted to smell it for notes, and couldn’t pick up anything without first consulting a few websites (cheating). I did not finish the glass and threw away the bottle. It was terrible. — a year ago

Drank this with Nate, as it was a cheap bottle and seemed easy to drink. It was surprisingly smooth with some lemon, and honestly a great deal for a price point of only $10. I would buy it again if I needed something easy to drink for a low price point. — a year ago

Middle of the road. Cheap wine. Paired it with salmon that I grilled and it tasted better than I expected, but I think that’s because I’m such a great chef and make a great salmon filet. Not a very memorable bottle, and that’s what you get at around the ten dollar price point. Super popular with my friends however, and contains some citrus notes but that it about all I could get without the help of Google. — a year ago

Awesome wine. I knew when choosing a Malbec I wanted one from Mendoza, so I stumbled upon this one in Total Wine. As is the case with Malbecs, they are full bodied and rich. I paired it with a heavy steak as is recommended and it was a great pairing. However, I could not see myself drinking more than a single glass of any Malbec, simply because of the intensity. That’s not to take away from the wine, it was excellent, just a personal preference. — a year ago

Just average at best. I drank this when I had a few friends over and my girlfriend seemed to love it, however it was a bit too sweet for me. After the second glass I already had a headache which made me feel pretty old. In terms of the wine, it had nice notes of grapefruit and lemon, just too sweet. — a year ago

This wine was much better than the less dry version from the same vineyard. I got citrus notes with fruit, mainly apples. I am glad to have tried this wine in class as now I know to look for a much more dry white. It had a nice sensation in the mouth, and after the second sip I was really enjoying it. It is a wine I will buy again. — a year ago

Clearly my girlfriend has not been reading my Delectable notes, because she bought me a Malbec. Once again, I paired this one with a steak and it truly is an excellent wine. However, I could not get through the whole glass as these heavy, intense wines are just not for me. However, I have tried other Malbecs from outside of Mendoza, and I know that if I were to order a Malbec in the future, it would have to be from Mendoza. Love the blackberry notes that region produces, just a bit heavy. — a year ago
