  As Argentinian Malbec goes, this one is a little bit unique with a small streak of gamey rusticity which is more common with the wines of Chile. There is a relativery high viscosity which means they left us a bit of residual sugar. The color is superb dark red. There is no doubt about the high altitude, big sunshine affect on the ripeness and fruit expression of these grapes. Decent hit of grapes, plum, blueberry and mulberry fruit. A bit more tannin than most Malbec's. Trying to like this wine but it seems a little manipulated while also tasting pretty good.

  A good buy. Jammy and simple, but enjoyable.

  One of the nicer malbecs we've had. Almost like a syrah in fruitiness.

  The palate is firm but zesty displaying bright berry black tea and mineral flavors. A hint of toast comes up on the lingering finish. Good value for the price.
