Dark nose of ink and tar with cedar, incense, white pepper, meat, black cherry and blueberry. Spicy cigar box. Dusty and grainy aromas. Opulent on the palate with succulent fruit and meat jus. It's savory and rich. Massive weight and power. Some cola on the finish along with balsamic and blueberry reduction. Definitely a food wine.

(Hestia Cellars Malbec Columbia Valley) A moderately aromatic wine with abundant peppery spice, plum, cherry, and herbal notes. The palate is expansive and soft, full of plum and spice flavors with more tannins than are often found in this variety. High on the delicious scale. 14.2% alcohol. 205 cases produced

Plum and Licorice flavors come out against a smooth mineral backdrop. Really good wine. Drinking outstanding right now.

Very nice WA Malbec. Clean dark fruit on the palate. Classic full big fruit, pepper, mineral on the nose. I liked it.

Cahors-like color - old style black malbec. Mocca on nose. Pure malbec flavors extend over side of tongue - intense, long
