Monday, November 24, 2008 - Major change from the Malbecs so popular from Argentina. Not overly extracted, and medium-light color. Nose of sweet red fruit, with slight floral background. Soft and smooth on palate, with fruit opening up in mid-palate, light oak and a hint of rasberry. Suggest a half-hour to hour decant, or overnight. Very pleasant, almost like a northern Italian cool-weather red. This style would be a good substitute for Pinot Noir with appropriate foods.
