Founded in 1997 and owned by the d'Aulan family, former owners of the Piper-Heidsieck Champagne house. A nice example of Argentina Malbec if you have not tried one. Aged in American oak for 6 months, fresh fruit aromas and exciting spice notes. On the palate flavors of cherry and sweet plum adding vanilla spice with a bit of pepper. Fine tannins, medium length ending with spicy character. Nice value. Tasting Sample.

Good stand-alone. Interesting, murky in a great way, consistent.

I stole this picture from the web. Date night last night at a place with a ho-hum wine list. This inexpensive Malbec was decent, though. Very standard Argentinian Malbec. Dark fruit, blueberry, plum, leathery. Enjoyed it with a lamb burger.
We were listening to Dire Straits in the restaurant, if I recall.

Pretty long decant — almost two hours?
NOSE: mineral water…crayon…raisins...carob. Muted.
TASTE: nice mouthfeel, little more fruit than the nose, acidity balances - smooth cassis and blackberry, clay. Well made. On my scale, this squeaks into a 91!
