Not very impressed but I guess you do get what you paid for. Great nose, very fruity, but on the palette, the wine comes up very lacking. Too acidic and the finish is very short and somewhat harsh. I guess this will just be a jug wine to consume with burgers or something simple.

Nose of cherry, tobacco and leathery pepper. Smooth texture with good balance. I drank it over 2 days and it held up very well on day 2. This is very good for an $8. screw top.

Nice bouquet with cherry, black pepper, hints of tobacco, cedar and tinge of leather. Good structure and balance over several days - smooth and sour tastes dominate, mild tanins and touch of oak. Very good wine for the price. Will but it again.

Had this with burgers. It was fine, especially for the $5 price. Nothing special, but not horrible either. Somewhat acidic, with a short finish.

Tobacco recedes over a day or two, leaving a nicely complex wine for the price. Not breathtaking by any stretch, but impressively resilient

Great little Malbec. Nose was wild berries and taste was fruity and spicy. Very enjoyable!

MCRI (Conference room): Juicy, fine, but doesn't seperate itself from all those very good malbecs at the same or less.
