Reserva Benchmark Red Blend

Sharp on the nose, full bodied and smokey on the palate, dusty and earthy tannins, rocky finish... Overall lots of character

Wow what a flavor for a mid expensive wine this is really it a must for guests who we try to impress

Seriously lacking in body. Tastes like flavored water.

definitely needs at least 30 mins to breath before enjoying.

What a wonderful wine to accompany our special Valentine's Day dinner. This reserve red blend is smooth, Dark and bold. Nice and dry with a hint of pepper. Fruit forward with blackberry leading the charge!

Curl up with a glass next a fire during the holidays.

Was a little smoky at first- I'd suggest opening it a few hours in advance. The second glass was less harsh and more fruity. Not very heavy on the sweetness or earthiness.

Oh Wilfred Wong, where did it all go wrong. Our favorite Bevmo wine critic gave this jalopy a whopping 96 points! This Argentinian Malbec is one overblown, overdone mess. In an attempt to produce a big wine, the winemaker basically threw everything at this wine but the kitchen sink. It's overly astringent, tannic beyond compare, and maybe the most inky wine I've ever tasted. Drinking this wine is a chore. It's like an enormous slab of meat, complete with gristle and fat, that you labor on tediously until you get the meat sweats. It is in this spirit that I will affectionately refer to this wine as "The Ole 96er."

Pretty delish
