Deep purple and intensely aromatic. Fruity with juicy berries and a blueberry Pop Tart frosting note. Great acid structure and only 12.4% alc. Neat, food-friendly wine.

Yummy, take me to Santa Barbara!

Had 3.5 hours open and has just begun to speak to me…Its 2:30 AM, and really must be going… of course you’re a wine, that needs my attention at 2:30 am…

Needs good decant, times may very. Fantastic Sanata Barbara terrior - grass, soil… woot, Santa Barbara. Acid, mouthwatering good time, fruit plentiful, crisp grape skin, crunchy woody tannin, good-time funk

If I remember correctly, first discovered Lo-Fi at Ruby Wine in SF eons ago at a wine maker tasting “Natty Party”, was impressed then as I still am, good job Lo-Fi

Juicy and different than most Malbecs. Tastes of black cherries, cranberries, and black currant.
