Flabby and fleshy, with little flavor beyond the fruit. None of the great, meaty, smoky malbec flavor I've come to expect. I very much respect Seven Hills. I'd like to be able to report back later that this wine was in a down period and that's why it wasn't consistent with their other wines, but I only had one bottle. Hopefully someone else on here will set me straight.
