First Ecuadorian Wine - doesn't get more equal than this. Delicious wine but way over-powering french oak on the nose and palate (aged 18 months in new french oak). Other notes of peach, plum, tobacco, mocha, black pepper, and spice. Drinking solo, but with the malbec, it could be well paired with skirt steak, or really any cut of grilled red meat.

Sub-awesome: way too much oak and not enough fruit. But still drinkable. This is an #Ecuadorian wine. At least it's not as unspeakable as I feared. Give the winemaker props for tying. He went to battle with the army he had. Then he oaked it. And give me props for risking $30 on it.
