Deep red, spicy red fruit nose, cran-cherry pepper palate. Quite smooth and soft mouthfeel. Medium plus tannins. Medium long enjoyable finish. A very nice Malbec. Perhaps more on my next bottle, this may deserve a slightly higher rating (case in hand). Paired with blackened tuna.

Deep purple in color; boysenberries, tabaco, and a hint of vanilla on the nose; medium plus acidity; medium tannins; tastes like blackberries, tart cherries, and graphite with a long finish. Nellie says it's ok. I like it. The tartness is a little out of balance, otherwise i would have rated it higher.
