  Very nice with flavors of berries and cherries. Slightly sweet with a nice balance of tannins. Paired well with vodka pasta and salad, also nice to drink without food.

  NY just opened up the opportunity for me to purchase SOME international NW wines, and a bottle of Coni's Malbec was among the first to find its way into my basket. I let it hang around for a month or so, acclimating to my NY cellar.
  
  I almost always give red wines an hour or more airtime prior to sipping with dinner. (newbies – please be sure to read description and suggestions – easy to find now on the wine’s page) And I also take a slug (oops, sip) as soon as I uncork – just to get a first impression. For this Malbec: DRY, acidic?, charcoal, earthy
  
  First evening paired with lamb chop, corn, and caprese – still a bit drier than my preference, moderate tannin, tart cherry.
  
  Second evening – BBQ burger and salad – slightly tart, tobacco, charcoal - smooth and silky
  
  Third and last evening (six days after opening), paired with venison roast rollup with spinach, sautéed shrooms and TJ’s Unexpected Cheddar – less tart, more dark but not sweet fruit (cherry, blackberry?), tobacco, a bit of acid, low tannin, smooth and silky.
  
  Overall, Coni’s Malbec is still drier than I prefer, but smooth and pleasant. Thank you, Coni, for creating this tasty Malbec for us!
