Deep Ruby with aromas of dark red fruits, spice, oak and floral notes. On the palate flavors of blackberry and cherry with pepper spice and cedar notes. Fine grainy tannins, lively acidity, medium finish ending with fruit, spice oak and mineral notes. Nice value!

Spicy plum nose with mineral notes, mineral continues into the palate which opens with soft plum fruit. Acid is good, tannis are very soft but present. Slight hint of earth and tobacco.

Tasted blind, called Pomerol. Deep red/black berry fruit, a ton of tannin, a dirty shoe thing, great value. Mouthwatering acid, lips felt like there might be a faint amount of RS, <$12 wholesale, great for grilled strip steak, anything with a char.

Very balanced, classic malbec taste with a hint of oak. Full bodied, nice acidity, noticeable tannins, fruit not too intense, and a noticeable bitterness. Good value!

Dark currant in color. Black cherry and tobacco with a touch of black pepper and some earthiness. Nice Malbec.
