Bright cherry aromas. Fruit forward flavors but nicely balanced and smooth finish. Very drinkable and heck, Sean Sullivan liked it.

Great Malbec with deep flavors! Enjoyed with red meat although could be good on its own.

Not as strong as an Argentinian Malbec (the heat in WA is less) -- more like a French Cahors. Good

September 7, 2015 - this is a Novelty Hill 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon not sure how I would rate it but it is very drinkable. Labor Day evening and a nice way to end the day. Life is good! Do not hesitate to try again.
