Big and chocolatey. Stand out fruit.

This beautiful ruby red wine smells like black cherry and smoke, with notes of sweet oak and vanilla oozing down the sides. I could sniff at it for hours. In the mouth, it's a red wine lover’s dream. Rich fruit - cherry, blackberry, plum - and firm, supple tannins combine for a taste that compels and satisfies. There’s plenty of backbone here, but it's not dangerous, or anything like that. Pair with steak, go ahead. You'll be happy. The wine will be happy. The steak will be happy.

Very nice and velvety with supportive tannins. Surprisingly good with pizza (don’t judge me!).

I love this Cab Malbec blend. Even though, it’s only 4% Cab and 4% Petit Verdot and 92% Malbec, it really changes the flavor. Great buy!

The notes draw you in before it hits your lips and tongue. This has fantastic fruits, blackberry, cherry, tannins, smoke and a finish that is strong. You are going to love it!

Silky smooth, an elegant wine in the glass. I am sure a few years in the cellar mellowed it a bit. Wish I had a few more cases!
