This was a good malbec, with notes of blackberry, sweet and dark fruit, spice, pepper and violets.
We paired it with a Mississippi pot roast (beef). I was worried the Pepperoncini peppers would be too spicy for the wine, but the spice and sweetness of the wine paired with the mild food, and of course the beef paired with the malbec. Turned out to be a good pairing.
Drink now or perhaps he wine has some more time.
This is the reserve, which is a vineyard select followed by a barrel select.

Outdoor Carne Asada Dinner with Friends (Princeton, NJ): Tasty wine. Notes of blackberry, red and dark fruits, violets, tannins. With the carne asada it got quite Smokey and was an excellent pairing.
Drink now or hold.

Completely balanced and great at six years. Probably could cellar for two more years.
