Deep ruby red colour. Red berries with hints of leather on the nose. Taste of sweet raspberries and strawberries. Needs some air to reach its potential.

Fruity, very, very, fruity. Light body, ultra ripe cherry, raspberry, and strawberry. Moderate acid, very little tannin. Almost nothing in the way of Tuscan terroir. Tasted blind and guessed New World, Argentine Malbec specifically. 86-87.

Nice, easy to drink wine. Good value at $8.49 a bottle. Cherry, berry flavor, thin legs, light body, light tannin. Good to have on hand. Would buy again.

Pretty nice buy for the $10+. Big body with a touch of complexity. Better the next day with the little bit left from the previous evening.
