Classic Chilean dust and eucalyptus nose, toasted dried plum concentrate with a sour raspberry snap. Judicious barrel action. #dailytable price #cellarworthy wine

Inky in color with a purplish rim.

Metallic and Light on the nose with blackberries, oak, plums, cherries, beef jerky, vanilla, licorice, chocolate, spices and white pepper.

Medium-bodied with medium acidity, and smoother than expected, with long legs.

Dry on the palate with cloves, oak, vanilla, blackberries, blueberries, plums, cherries, earth, tar, Animal notes, chocolate, mocha, coffee, metals and black pepper.

Medium plus on the finish, with nice, mature tannins, peppercorn and bitter almonds.

A Nice everyday red wine. A unique Malbec, yet simple, Well Balanced and enjoyable. However, it is light on the nose, and watery and hollow on the mid palate.

13.5% alcohol by volume.

Sleeper hit #valledecolchagua #malbec - No overt jamminess on nose instead subtle bramble fruit, earthy funk and interesting tar notes; well-balanced palate, soft lingering tannins.
