Deep Ruby with aromas of dark red fruits, spice and rustic floral notes. On the palate flavors of blackberry and cherry with pepper spice and cedar notes. Fine grainy tannins, lively acidity, medium finish ending with fruit, spice and mineral notes. Nice value!

Dark ruby /Inky with a thin purple rim.

Strong nose of blackberries, sweet cherries, licorice, oak, vanilla, cloves, metals, tobacco, spice box, coffee, earth, light vegetables, red candy, spices and peppercorn.

Medium plus in body with high acidity and long legs.

Dry on the palate with blueberries, plums, red currants, oak, vanilla, licorice, cloves, spices, tar, earth, pencil lead and peppercorn.

Medium finish with round tannins and bitter herbs.

This is a young Malbec from the Uco Valley in Mendoza. A bit bitter, unbalanced, sour and hot on the back of the throat. Shows notes of complexity.

Drinkable but needs some bottle time. Better after it opens up (2 hours). Would pair nicely with BBQ Meats.

100% Malbec grapes are grown at above 3,300 feet elevation, and aged in oak barrels for 12 months. Unfiltered.

14% alcohol by volume.

I very seldom drink #malbec as most of the wines you get from #alko are just flabby, sweet and boring. This one I bought from recent trip in Tallinn. It's less extracted and sweet and has some backbone and rather pleasant tannins.

Instantly delicious on the palate. Rich grape wine flavor- smooth with bite all at the same time.
