Wine Review: This wine opens with a mild aroma. On the palate, this wine is fruity and vibrant. It is slightly dry and finishes with a wonderful tingly finish. This would be an excellent wine to complement a red sauce based deal. Enjoy – Ken

Winemaker Notes: Chocolate and blackberry jam aromas with a hint of the characteristic leafy note. A denser and chewier Malbec than some previous vintages, showing some weight on the mid-palate and a full-flovared finish. A great variety of fruit: red plum, cassis, hint of boysenberry and cranberry in the finish. While you will want to drink this up, consider securing a few extra bottles to hold for as long as you as it will improve - really.

Buy it: Use 1000 Corks to find stores that sell Malbec.
