Very nice. Bit sour. Bit bitter. Almost tea like tannins. Very fruity and wonderful. Almost blackberries. Really very nice for the price

I was surprised by taste of this Malbec - it was great in my opinion. Cherry dominates in aroma and taste. Great as apperitive.

This was on sale at the liquor store so I grabbed it to try. It’s pretty good, a nice sipping wine and paired well with roast for dinner. Definitely worth $9.99.

2014 vintage. Deep garnet. Light and fruity, short finish, dry. Claret-like. Brought down by significant cork contamination which was foreshadowed in the aroma. Oddly, the cork was intact and showed no degradation.

More bitter than other Malbec's from my perspective. OK, but not my favorite.
