Casarena 505 Malbec 2013 is one of Lujan de Cuyos best $2 wines! It's price to quality ratio is remarkable. This is a great companion for your daily dinner. Plum, cherry notes with a hint of vanilla. Delish!

I don't care that Tanzer is gaga for this wine: it's boring. Fruit moving toward the red spectrum, sweet, ripe, and fruity, not a lot of character and very simple.

It’s a bit sweet. Not what I was expecting. But very drinkable

Decent. A bit harsh with the first sip.

A little sweet and buttery, good for a dinner party as likely a crowd pleaser.
