Nice Napa malbec. Fine tannins, balancing acidity, nice ripe black fruit. Glad I drank it now, as I'm not sure it has the structure to develop much more.

A bit one dimensional. needed a little exposure to air to get going. Great with cheese as a starter course wine. If you have em drink em up. this is not going to last much longer imho.

Dark garnet color in the glass, clear looking throughout. Nose of flowers, blueberries, currants, a bit of potpourri and a bit of camphor. Flavors of black currants, black raspberries, black berries and black cherries. Medium acidity, medium to firm tannins, medium to full bodied. Drink now through the next 5+/- years.

Very nice fruit. Well made...start to finish..but just not enough of a nose or finish to garner 90+ points...

This was fine. Enjoyable to drink, well structured, but just somehow lacking a bit of complexity or pizzazz
