Grapey and sharp notes of oak on the nose, thin, underripe tannins and nondescript black fruit in the palate.

Soft, bright and dry with a cherry and oak flavor. Slightly alcoholic, with a spicy finish. (🎥 Logan Lucky)

I know, for the price it almost seems worth it but i inquire you to spend the extra $5 or $8 and get a better Malbec. The wine is very one noted. Smell is sour, acidic and boozy. Almost burns. The viscosity is watery, dull and thin. The taste is fruit forward, almost a but too sweet at first before turning into this sour bitter aftertaste. Notes of plum, some red currants no spice or kick or any sort of nice dryness you'd expect from a Malbec. This is a good wine for somebody who doesn't really care too much about wine. For the rest of us, I wouldn't say its worth the time.
