Good flavor, goes well with red meat. Not the best Malbec, but not bad for a $9 red.

Good value for a simple, straightforward red. Good berry fruit with some pleasant spice and, happily, no over-influence of oak. Nice wine for a barbecue

Cool label (I'm a sucker for those). Light spice, big fruit, could possibly use a bit more time. Opened up nicely.

Surprisingly interesting for a Malbec. Strong tannins with solid acidity to match; bramble and black raspberries and blackberries, with notes of bacon fat. Slight chalkiness and berries have a short finish, probably would do well with a few years of cellaring. Overall very well done

Spice and cherry nose. Tannic cherry and hint of tobacco on the tongue. Nice!

Dumped it in w some other I didn’t like for mulling - proves the rule that if there is some kind of picture on the label it won’t be good
