Pilar and I had this wine at The Reef in Piermont. For an Italian Malbec it was not as full body as the Argentinian malbecs we drink. But we enjoyed it.

Bolder red with dark fruit (plums and cherries), a little earthy, and long smooth tasting. Nice tannins and great with Italian food

2010 vintage. Was perfect with a plate of Spanish olives and paella. Fruity, smoky, and light.
