Sipping Fine Wine

Deep Ruby red color, purple edges, aromas of jammy dark fruit and floral pepper spice. On the palate flavors of blackberry and cherry fruit with spice. Fine chewy tannins, medium+ length ending with fruit, cacao and sweet spice.

An entry level Argentinian Malbec to be sure, but it still delivers for the price. A fresh & herbal nose of red plum, blackberry, raspberry leaf. Medium bodied palate, with a bit of bracing acidity alongside blackberry, raspberry and hits of smoke & tar on the finish.  Paired well with balsamic roasted pork chops & roasted zucchini! ($7) [8/30/21]

Smoky, cherry nose. Cherry earthy flavor, lighter tannins than expected, minimal development but drinkable.

Tannic, medium-plus body, headstrong but drinkable. Fantastic value.

Peppery at first touch to the tongue but smooth and jammy flavors of berries. Really paired well with Italian dinner
