A little green, but not a bad bottle for the $$.

Good, smooth with lower tannins and just a bit of smokey flavor.

Deep purple in color with a lighter purple rim.

Great fruity nose with blackberries, sweet cherries, blueberries, strawberry jam, light bell pepper, wildflowers, oak, vanilla, licorice, spices, metals and black pepper.

Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity and gorgeous legs.

Dry on the palate with blackberries, cherries, raspberries, black currants, Cola, plums, cedar, vanilla, eucalyptus, licorice, spices and peppercorn.

Nice and spicy finish with round tannins and tart strawberries.

This Malbec Is from grapes sourced at the foothills of the Andes. Aged for 9 months in oak barrels. Drinking nicely now, well-balanced and not as harsh as last year. Needs to open up, for at least an hour in a decanter to get this nice result. Paired it with a cheese plate, but it will go nicely with Argentinian Asado.

14% alcohol by volume.

Deep red color with aromas of blackberries and plums, I can definitely smell the smoke. Nice smooth finish.
