Pnp through Nuance Wine Finer. Deep purple color. Dark blackberry fruit on the nose, a little spice and leather. On the palate, wonderful round mouthfeel with subtle tannins, dark fruit. Really nice bottle. 91+pts. Aloha!

Deep dark purple. Blueberry, cocoa and cedar nose. Medium to full bodied, plums, blackberries, thick sweet tannins, smoke, a bit of heat, and a long black cherry finish. Among the best California Malbecs, IMHO.

Uncorked for 1 hour, sweet nose, dark red fruits, a lot going on in this wine. Finish is lengthy, definitely a good wine to enjoy with grilled, fatty meat with assertive flavor. Well integrated tannins and a lot of life left. I need to follow this over a couple days to see what secondary flavors show up...
Vacuvin overnight in fridge
Day 2: poured after reaching temp of 60F and enjoyed with dinner. Secondary notes are more noticeable and fruit is balanced. Leather, spice, and oak. Food friendly (paired with peppered bacon, lettuce, garden tomato, avocado sandwich - BLAT). Plum on night 2 vs. Black cherry on initial open.

flatline. Nothing special. Kind of disappointed as I was expecting more. Just kind of flat and neutral. Not bad but not a favorite. Will give other bottles sometime and hope it comes alive.
