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.

Fruity/jammy, but the tannins immediately dry your palate (a bit stronger than I expected). Tasted blackberry and plum. Mild notes of chocolate.
