The Tamarí seems to vary year to year, from pretty good to really good. The 2006 has dark fruits, mainly blackberry & dark cherry, with spices & black pepper. Almost a bit too sharp on the finish, but can't say any more time would help.

Not sure what was going on with this one. The nose had a plastic thing going on with herbal earthiness and spicy berries. The palate showed fine. Spicy approach, leaning towards hot really (alc?) Blackberries, dollop of toasty wood, and again the spice on the finish. Mild tannins, but they are present. Decent acidity, but I wouldn't necessarily say balance by any means. Not bad, but there are others that blow this out of the water.

purple in the glass, with a nose of mocha, chocolate and coffee. this has lush blackberry fruit, solid tannic structure and medium acidity. earth, coffee and toast flavors linger on the silky finish. solid malbec for the price.

(Tamarí Malbec Reserva, Uco Valley, Mendoza) This blend of 95% Malbec, 3% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 2% Bonarda, from a winery named after the indigenous Huarpes’ phrase for doing everything with passion, has notes of blueberry, earth, and tar. It’s round and fruity, with a long, refreshing finish. Special Report: Argentina

Very dark colored. Scents of cherry. Big tannins and not so big flavor. Lingering dry fruity finish.
