Completely blown away by this Texas Malbec. Blind tasted, guessed Barbera from Napa, or Old world Zin... it was elegant, herbaceous in a great way, and minty - drank like an aged Cahours almost. Wow.

Tasted blind. My immediate thought after first smell/no taste that popped in my head was ripasso/amarone. After a a little hint my guess was a Croatia Zin. Had that old world note to it with some bramble berries and spice. Nice blind pick @Stephen Pierron
