Good, but I will echo others questions if it is worth the price.

Very nice malbec. Purchased for an argentine tasting, and I really enjoyed it. However, I am not sure if the value is there relative toothed options.

Best wine of the night from a night of Argentine wine that included Archaval-Ferrer finca malbec and Luca Malbec Nico. Excellent Malbec, that I believe is worth the price.
White
First wine for of a night of argentine wines. Tasted with manchego and dulce de membrill (quince paste). Wonderful pairing. I really enjoyed the wine.

This was good, but I was hoping it would have been better. Nothing wrong, but not exceptional.

Not really viognier-like. Lacks the tartness and pretty flat. Seemed much more like an off dry Riesling.

I don't have a history with this wine, but it doesn't seem too over the hill even though it is passed the recommended drinking window. Bigit hot and meaty for a Pinot. Earthy with a hint of cranberry and alcohol in the nose. Nicely balanced but a bit hot and the fruit might be fading a bit. Flavors of cranberry, tobacco with a lingering finish.

Good, but after a 2006 Charles Smith Royal City, it probably seemed less impressive than it was.

Pretty well balanced, but the pleasant pepper sometimes seems a bit vegetal. Still a very pleasant wine.

paired with a roast garlic & herb crusted roast pork tenderloin, grilled asparagus and roast garlic mashed potatoes. Good pairing, but no real synergy.

Decanted15 or 20 minutes before drinking.

Excellent wine. Big, but not jammy. Well balance oak. Hints of leather, vanilla, currants.

caveat: i have only had a handful of desert wines, but some of them were very good.

paired with a baked apple and vanilla ice cream.

A good, but not great wine. However, definitely found some synergy with this pairing. Good floral notes in the nose. Apricot and other stone fruit on the tongue, but subtle.

Pre-dinner and salad wine (salad was a strawberry, goat cheese, pecan, mixed greens with a balsamic vinaigrette).

Paired nicely with the salad. Neither overly complex nor in your face, but refreshing and good balance of acidity.

decanted, and enjoyed with a rack of lamb. Well balanced oak with noticeable, but soft tannins. Fruit is still good, but probably a good time to drink. Hints of cranberry, pepper, tobacco and currant.

drank a bottle with a steak dinner after tasting it earlier. Not the fruit and tannin bomb that I expected for a Columbia Valley cab that has big and bold in the first line of its description. I don't have a great palate, but definite oak and spice with a hint of soft vegetation. Balanced and mature for its age. I think it is a great value.
