High expectation from Denis Malbec - delivered a rash of delicacy - volume and enjoyability !
Surprising for its lightness but complexity. Looks great for the lake county growers.

Did not like this one at all. Too leathery and sharp aftertaste. Perhaps it’s been on the shelf too long.

Not enjoyable. Perhaps too far along. Lots of acid and not much to round it out. Net result was puckered lips.

In a blind taste test I would’ve guessed I was drinking an expensive left bank Bordeaux. Leather and earth blend with red fruit, a long finish and firm tannins in a wonderful way
