This is a nicely balanced yet robust Malbec. The aromas are of blackberry, plum with some herbs. This is medium to full-bodied with medium tannins. The flavors are of blueberry, black cherry and a hint of chocolate building to a lengthy finish.

Deep ruby color. Dark fruit on the nose with a hint of mocha. Blackberry and spice on the palate. Full body, moderate acidity, moderate tannins. Moderate finish with spice, tobacco, and vanilla.

A lot of red fruit with underripe blueberry. Lacking some of the structure I would expect from Malbecs at this price point. There are a lot of amazing New World Malbecs out there at a great value. There's also a suprising amount of bitterness. After the bottle had sat open on the counter for about 30 minutes the wine opened up a bit.

Comes across as nicely balanced between fruit(medium), tannins(medium) and acidity(medium+). A tasty, smooth mouthful before a long finish. Nice QPR at <$20. Color me happy
I was expecting this to do well with steak but oddly, it barely changed with a perfectly grilled, medium rare filet(had to say that....I nailed that filet). Was expecting more with the steak but would not think twice before buying this again.

For the record, while this falls a tad flat as a solo sipper, it's the perfect wine with chili.

Ripe black and blue fruits on the nose and palate, with oak creeping in through the medium-short finish. Simple and bland.

2019 Hennepin Lake Charity Event (Minneapolis, MN): This was a nice wine. Coffee, floral, blueberries, boysenberries and black licorice. Quite complex and medium finish.
