Me gustó, pero esperaba más. Quizás le faltaba frío. Aún así es recomendable.

Bright and exuberant red and purple fruit, it seems pretty Beaujolais-y, but the Malbec shows in the tannin. Stump your friends in blind tastings.

Interesting, but didn't have the balance for the acid. Where over-the-top CA wines tend to be over-extracted and too opulently marketable for my taste, this was far too "artsy" for lack of a better term. I would have a hard time finding an audience for this.

Light body, red berry and vanilla taste, great wine!

Considered an 8.9, but wasn’t complex / interesting enough to get there. The Malbec / Pinot Noir combo gives an almost Sangiovese impression. Cherry, slatey earth. Medium acidity. Light without being dainty.

Weird. I really liked this when I first tried it. The past two bottles though have tasted so funky, so off. I actually called the last one corked and this one almost seems like it too. Not bad up front, but finishes really dirty and grimmy.

Disappointed, wasn’t sure how the Malbec Pinot combo would work, received decent reviews but I did not care for it
