Easy drinking, nice, pleasant, and tasty. Nose has plum, berries, spices, licorice, and just a bit of earth. Palate is full and rich with a perceived sweetness from the ripe grapes. Nice tannic grip and long-if-rustic and edgy finish. This is nice wine.

A young and vibrant, fruit-driven Malbec from Lodi. Lots of spice, black and red fruit, plum, and some dry earth on the nose. Palate is big-wine/young wine sweet with medium acidity and tannins that are either light, or overwhelmed by the juicy fruit. Considering how hot Lodi is, the body is a bit lighter than I expected even while bringing some black licorice to the mix. A nice weekday wine that still shows the winemaker's skill. I'd follow her efforts if given the chance. Nice.

Mellow for a Malbec but super drinkable while maintaining some interesting complexity. Great everyday wine.
