Thank you, Anthony at Wine Store, for always suggestive selling me on exactly what I want! This is Caymus's Malbec, and you can definitely tell they are sisters. Not a huge Malbec fan, but this is nice and for $39 at WS, down. with. it! Lots of signature Malbec fruit, Caymus-like nose, a good guilt-free weekday indulgence.

So, I bought this at the rack rate of $50. But then @Ron R had me on the hunt for more wines. I stumbled across this wine now at $39. For me, that's a psychological threshold. Consequently, I thought this was worth a third look as I might now reconsider purchasing. As an added bonus, I thought this would go well with the pork chop and salad I was having for dinner.

There is a delicious intensity here. It's almost indescribable. Again, as I posted the last time, it feels and smells manufactured. This is the diametric opposite of a wine's terroir. Further, it retains all the things I liked when I very first had Caymus. There isn't a ton of complexity here, but that's ok.

Yes, I could be drinking better intellectual wines for the price, but, sometimes, it's ok to watch wresting or football and just enjoy the ride.

Deliscous Malbec from Wagner Family. Well balanced, Very fruit forward with hints of vanilla, cinnamon and other baking spices. Smooth, long lasting finish.

What you would expect from a Caymus Malbec. Full bodied, fruit forward and smooth effort. You can definitely find a better way to spend $50 on wine, but it is a very solid bottle.
