Refined #ucovalley #malbec - Somewhat restrained dark fruit aromas backed by leather and earthy notes. Balanced fruit and acid channel into velvety tannins - this set off well with short rib ravioli.

Very smooth. Red and black fruit notes. Middle of the road. Not bad, not memorable. Super easy drinking. Dry. Can’t hurt to try a bottle.
