This is not very good. Jammy, one-dimensional. I’m not very familiar with Malbec so maybe typical or maybe not … but either way I don’t like it. Tasted 27 March 2022.

Fruit forward- a very light Merlot with not much oak or tannins. Needs some more body for any heavier foods but ok for lighter fare or cocktail wine.

Very fruit forward on the light side. Medium acidity with some tannin at the end. Better with some air but not great.
