Mendoza, Cuyo, Argentina
A wine being hawked by a big box wine store. Not sure why “Reserve” is put on a $13 wine?? Found a ‘16 left, past it’s prone. Aromas of berry and smoky earthy notes. Tart Cherry and tart plum flavors with sharp pepper spice and earthy herbal notes. Rugged tannins makes it difficult to enjoy. Needs a big food dish. Past it’s prime.

the quality/selection of the fruit is evident; none of the green notes of the reserva. pure and deep black fruit upon opening. The wood is disjointed at first but integrates rather well over time.

Did not have the cabernet. Was an okay Malbec. Had the 2019 in January of 2023. Had with flank steak and chimichurri to celebrate Argentina cuisine. The oak was super light but paired well with the meat and chimichurri and salsa criolla. Wasn’t a fantastic Malbec but worked well with dinner.

Blackberry nose, a little astringent flavor and not as full bodied as you'd expect a Malbec to be. But not bad. Good with chimichurri steak.

May 6th, 2021Very juicy flavor with vanilla hints. Nose was a bit strong and reminded me of over ripe strawberries
