Dark, glass-clinging red purple. Inviting nose of black plum and purple flowers. Full-bodied palate echoes the nose adding, in addition, blackberry, cassis, and a hint of dark chocolate. Medium acidity. Medium tannins, mostly on the finish. A classic Argentine Malbec that checks off all the boxes. Enjoy with beef (of course), lamb, or hearty root vegetable dishes. Drink now through 2025.

Black cherries and liquorice, a little acidic at first but really opens up nicely. My bosses gave me a nice wine basket for Secretary’s Day and this was one of the wines.

Total wine. Good for the price. Would get again. Let it breathe though.

Whoa was not expecting the overload on blueberries.

Pnp. On the second glass the blueberry overload begins to tone itself down.

not worth the $20 price. better options out there for malbec

Le Barf. Should have let this open for 1hr +
Ended up tossing it. Tasted like licorice mold.
