  - Garnet color and aromas of vanilla. It's somewhat balanced and has flavours of cherry, strawberry jam and raspberry with a light/medium body. Smooth texture with a short finish - Very nice for the price; unexpectantly smooth and not fruit-forward. Wish it had a finish but at least its' not fruit-over powering. Nice Mendoza malbec.

  Nose: sweet, smokey, woody, and spicy - big nose! Plum and raspberry scent as well; fruit predominates. Taste: very fruity, red and black currant, red plum, black cherry. Medium dry, very smooth, medium body. Slightly earthy mid-length finish. Slightly floral on the entrance - lavender? Really good, tastes delicious and would definitely buy again. Great on its own. Wish the finish was longer though.

  Dark colour, very aromatic like candy cherry and raspberry. Very fruity nose; maybe even a bit over the top. Soft tannin and lots of candy cherry and cranberry. Very fruity, and a bit of twizzlers red licorice candy flavour. Hints of burn toast and medium body. A hint of earth and has nice bitter tannin in the finish with great flavours lingering afterward. Got lots of strong sour plum/fig taste after a while. Not as good on its own due to the fruity flavour can be easily overpowered by other taste; but it is an amazing sipping wine on its own, especially at this price point.
