V12. Very nice well made wine! Deep ruby, staining fruit. Soft violet bouquet. Jammy Blackberry and black pepper fruit . Hints of mocha, a slight chalky finish. Wonderful food wine.

As much black pepper as anything I've ever tasted. Smooth, light plum juxtaposed against its deep, dark color. Mom says this is "a REALLY great bottle of wine" but she says a lot of things. I'd say this was a happy intro to a malbec.

Not as rich as the normal malbecs. Starts fairly tart but ends smooth. Nice.

It's a good Washington Malbec. Easy to drink. Lighter and more fruity than peppery as you would expect from a Malbec. Nice deep color. Smooth and enjoyable.
