Community Tasting Notes 4

    January 22, 2024 - Standard Malbec. Good body, bouquet, and plum flavor. Nothing stands out though.

  • WineCenturyAZ Likes this wine: 89 points

    January 14, 2024 - Opaque purple/black in the glass, dark fruit on the nose hint of cedar, palate is dry and pronounced, fruit forward style, black plum, currant, cherry, pomegranate, blackberry, bit of bramble, note of anise, wood, acidity is medium +, tannins are firm, full body, long generous finish. Very nice.

  • caspernick Likes this wine: 90 points

    May 27, 2023 - A 60/40 Bonarda/Malbec blend, this was the second wine in our lineup at the 31st virtual wine tasting. It showed deep purple with lots of staining and medium viscosity (13.5% ABV). On the nose- blackberry, black cherry, black currant, pomegranate and caramel. Others noted candied cherry, twizzlers, fig, slate and violet. The palate is dry with medium (+) acidity and high tannins. The dark, ripe fruit flavors were echoed on the palate along with some oak influence- coffee, charred wood and an oaky hint. The finish on this medium bodied wine was decent in length and really honed in on the ripe, black berries. I gave it 13 points on our scoring sheet and would assign it 90 points. For $20 this wine gets 4 stars with a drinking window of 2025-2030 unless you like them tannic AF.
