Ultra Mendoza Malbec
Nice expression of Malbec with floral notes, crushed berry and graphite on the nose and palate. Well balanced with fruit, savory notes, oak and tannin all in good proportion. Dense and plush, good steak wine, added a fruit sweet counter balance to a gamy grass fed rump steak.

Feb 28th, 2018A nice Malbec, especially for under twenty bucks. A bit weak on the nose with some blackberry, currant and spice notes. First taste is surprisingly lush with a lot of fruit. Some acidity and a short finish with a hint of tannin.

The acidity was quite low with a hint of tannin on the finish. A good wine for just sitting at the computer all day. A great red for under $20CAD.
