Terroir Series Malbec Blend
Mendoza, Cuyo, Argentina
Ripe red berries and blackberry with a hint of chocolate and leather on the nose. Nice acid alcohol balance, light mouthfeel, and a long earthy finish. Oh wait "terroir"! Duh! I'd drink again, espn with steak.

This wine is complex and intense. Overall, I rate this wine as good.

Nice red fruit, a bit of oak with notes of vanilla and the slightest bit of chocolate, and a nice, long earthy finish. Pretty light despite how much flavor it has, and it goes great with the goat cheese and veggie pizza I’m having it with lol will definitely have again!

Delicate, dark, light on spice, and crunch Malbec.
This Malbec blend dances it doesn't dominate. The bombinado is like a firecracker of sweetness.

Garnet robe and viscous. Metallic nose with notes of plumb, prunes and cherries. Sweet taste with strong tannins. Flavours of dates, black fruit and a soft oak finish. Lovely wine but quite strong.
