Very good wine for every day. It has strong hints of blackberry and a nice finish. Slight aftertaste. This wine has 50% oaked and 50% unoaked blended together which makes it pretty smooth.

(14%) Dark, opaque purple in the glass this one shows deep, dark berry notes (with a hint of floral in the background) on the nose. Juicy on the palate this one is certainly fruit forward in style with rich blackberry flavors that turn almost jammy on the mid-palate before a peppery, mineral component emerges. From there creamy, vanilla (and slightly hot) barrel driven flavors drive through to a toasty finish with medium lingering tannins. $10 Malbec is one of the greatest value categories out there and while this isn’t my favorite it is still worthy of consideration…

Not much character. I have more of this vintage and plan on laying these down for awhile before drinking another.

Nice dark color, legs that go on forever. Spicy dark fruit, blackberries plum. Little bit jammy. Med tannins with a decent finish. Good QPR
