Drinking very well now, maybe at peak. Attractive dark ruby color, nose of berry fruit. Palate offers soft, but rich fruit, just a hint of oak, not a much acidity, and a relatively short finish. Not built to age much longer, just a very pleasant, well-made wine to enjoy with or without food. Pair with delicate dishes, or it will be overwhelmed. Shows the best of California-grown malbec's flavor potential.

A little one dimensional. This wine opened revealing dark fruit and cherry on the nose, with subtle hints of wood. the body was medium, and the midpalate was the same. Berry fruit, and light vanilla oak. Finish was unremarkable.
