(Altitude 1050 Malbec) #3; COLOR-dark; NOSE-pretty tight; getting a little hint of red fruit (cherry) and a little bark action; PALATE-luscious red fruit; nice tannins on the mid-palate; the sour cherry is really the essence of this wine; I like the backbone structure; good light fruit on the back-end; not too heavy or light; great barbeque dinner wine; a nice round and lush back-end; not inexpensive at $20 bones for a Malbec, but this has the "oomph" power on the back-end; I like this wine; I like the sour action and hint of tobacco on the back-end; a hair overpriced, but this is young and has room to grow; GV-90/91; GV-89/91

I have somehow kept 6 bottles of this without a taste for close to 10 years. I find this simple and four-square with its big, round sweet-cherry and tobacco flavors, but it has no major flaws, nor has time noticeably marred it. It's reasonably well balanced, and without any alcoholic burn. I'd say this is a perfect barbecue wine if you don't want to break the bank but still wish to please. It's certainly not the driest wine around though.

PnP. Nose of cherrry, red raspberry and vanilla. Palate of cherry, red & black berries, baking spice and a touch of oak with a medium finish.

Great balance. Not overly exciting but it gets points for not having any over the top fruit.

Brought to a "South of the equator" blind tasting, expecting little compared to others amongst the 24+ wines offered. Decanted for hours, re-bottled for tasting. VERY fruity, soft tannins, other participants were impressed, especially w/the $10 price.
