Very dark with a rich complex nose. Opened it a day ago and it’s benefited from a day open. Yesterday I would have scored it 9.2 but today it’s 9.4. With restraint I’ll try it again tomorrow. Really a great Sonoma Malbec!

Ripe in flavor, with a vivid array of black currant, blackberry, violet, black tea and black pepper aromas and flavors that zoom through to a long, expressive finish. Shows subtlety in the layers of complex flavor against a refined structure. Tannins are present but nicely contained. #1 Wine of 2009, Wine of the Year* — 6 months ago

Perfect description on back: “earthiness, spice, and black peppercorn.” Very good dark red fruit. Drank with Josh’s fat-infused pork chops Memorial Day weekend. Excellent pairing. Long finish; 2 waves. A tiny bit jammy, but otherwise excellent. — 10 months ago

surprise surprise - hit or miss with this NC winery, but this is fantastic! Left Bank style, classy oak integration, gobs of red & black fruit, prominent spice and secondary layers, great extraction & tannic grip. just really solid & enjoyable all the way round. bump for QPR — 8 months ago

I really enjoyed this wine, unfortunately I paid more than $10 because I bought it at a restaurant. Columbia Valley wines are def in my wheelhouse of taste and enjoyment for vino! 2019 — 3 years ago
