March 24, 2015 - Brilliant dark ruby. Nose of blueberry, boysenberry, blackberry cobbler, plum, smoke, toast, vanilla, sambuca, leather, and cedar. Beautifully balanced, with fine tannins and flavors of juicy blackberry, smoke, black cherry, dark chocolate, and anise. Double decanted after tasting and opened up beautifully. Went well with chicken sausage, steak, and medium dark (60% cacao) dark chocolate.

December 24, 2013 - PnP. Inky dark purple. On the nose, purple fruit and spice. Mouth coating and full bodied with nice Malbec spiciness. Good acidity and medium-long finish.
In a very good place right now. -

November 9, 2013 - Great Malbec. Dark berries, smoke, and grilled meat on the nose. Full bodied with a fruit driven palate. Would be great with a nice, solid steak, but drinks fine on its own.

7/20/2011 (link) **** 1/2 points(àMaurice Cellars Malbec Columbia Valley) Dark and inky with a purple rim. Abundant pepper and plum aromas along with spice. Rich and flavorful on the palate with great depth on a deliciously varietal wine. A big, brawny beast with a long finish. 100% Malbec. Gamache Vineyard. Aged in French oak (40% new). 14.5% alcohol. 320 cases produced.
