Gourmet pizza afternoon on a stunning day in Great Falls attempting some new things on my Big Green Egg. Moderate success with miniature calzones and hit it out of the park with a goat cheese, fig spread, truffle oil pizza that just rocked. All the pizzas faired well with the 2017 Vina Cobos Reptil Malbec. I’m not a huge fan of most Malbec but this one was beautiful. Super dark purple in the glass the wine is like putting your teeth in battery acid. No pictures after a couple glasses! 😂 Dark black fruit, some oak on the mid palate with silky mouthfeel. A bit pricey for the quality. -DD91

I don't often think to decant Malbec but based on how this wine improved as it was open I need to rethink this going forward. I'd say there are just as good Malbec's available at a better price. Lots of rich dark fruit, oak, and black raspberry.

This wine was dark purple in the glass, medium legs, and with robust aroma of fruits and berries with a little bit of spice. Initially it seemed like high alcohol which dissipated over time in the glass. This was super smooth, not a super long finish but very tasty nonetheless.
