Wow. Who knew a Cal Malbec could be so thoughtfully made? NOT over saturated, over alcoholized... Rather, subtle integration of the human hand to reveal weight and nuance of fruit.

Bright and ripe. Blackberry and plum. Probably could benefit from a little more time. This wine is clean, crisp, bright color, and full of acidity and fruit.

Really great taste, mild yet flavorful.

Needs to breathe for a few hours, and then it explodes with taste and aroma.

Not huge fan of Malbec but thought this was very nice for the price with a pure new world earthiness.

Nose of delightful cinnamon red berry, vanilla and plum. Dry with a heavy copper note: yummy with a tannin emphasis. Would buy!!! #malbec #everydaygems #mendocino #mendocinowine

Not bad at all for a 2012 Malbec.

Fruity nose. Blackberry, maybe currant. A little better the second day. Probably would not buy again.

$54-56. Can definitely tell it's a Malbec. Bold flavor with a bite at the end. Ate with pork and lamb
