December 2, 2009 - This wine has typical Malbec character along with that Santa Barbara herbaceousness... Very decent wine for the money... a good midweek dinner wine ....

November 26, 2008 - Tour - Santa Barbara / Santa Ynez / Solvang 2008; 11/20/2008-11/27/2008 (Santa Barbara / Santa Ynez / Solvang, CA): Good experience. Bouquet and taste cookie dough and juniper berries. Taste comparison with their Cabernet Sauvignon - the Malbec was better. May be good with fish dishes. $22/bottle.
