Bought this to cook with as I was making a dish that called for a Tannat and it turned out to be a lovely, reasonably priced drinker as well. Medium bodied, fruit, hint of tobacco with little or no oak.

Hadn’t had the Malbec/Tannat blend & picked it up for $13. Really a nice find - light on the finish, which I didn’t expect from the Tannat infusion…but an extra $10-15 would prob pay for a longer finish :). Still nice.

Tastes like wine you'd get at a wedding. Won't buy again.

Nice easy drinking wine. Less tannic than expected for a Malbec/Tannat blend.

Dark fruit with vanilla and tobacco notes. A blend of malbec and tannat. Fruit forward style and am guessing more malbec than tannat. Easy drinking.

This could use some heavy breathing. Tannic and risky. We drank it with the first episode of The Queen’s Gambit. And then we drank some more.
