  Only took one sip so won’t rate, but this is drinking at peak right now. Lots of nice fruit, very smooth, tannins less present than expected. More alcohol than I like but overall very decent. Appreciated more by my non-wino brother than by my increasingly wine snobby husband.

  Full bodied, well fruited (more red than blue), some dry tannins, and a long finish. Much better than last time.

  Very fruit-forward, lots of red fruit bordering on jammy. Light structural elements/tertiary notes. Seems young but not sure how well it can age.

  Very good blend, the cab franc provides the tannin for the Malbec, medium bodied but light on the palate , good fruit, structure and some complexity. Drank with skirt steak, would drink again.

  Argentinian Reds (Vintage Wines Ltd., San Diego, CA): 60% Malbec & 40% C.F.; 13.9% ABV
  
  N: Medicinal, seems ripe
  
  P: Med body; ALMOST swtish frt nicely off-set by some very, VERY finely tannic pucker which morphs into a LONG, ult tangy/swt (35:65) finish with HINTS of those tannins. Could improve through Summer of '18, then drink for 3 or 4 yrs more. Disregarding the N, nicely done! My VG. 93 pts WA, 91 Suckling, 90+ Vinous, 90 WE, & 87 WS. [As usual, this vendor's $25.95 is definitely competitive.]
