Wine Review: This ruby red old world styled wine exudes of oak on the nose. On the palate, this medium bodied wine exhibits very pronounced blackberry flavors. The mouthfeel is round and savory. This wine would match well with burger, ribs, and most barbeque foods. The finish is dry, slightly tannic, and exhibits a touch of oak. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: Intensely purple in colour, on the nose this wine exhibits exuberant notes of currant, plum, dark chocolate and mocha. In the mouth opulent notes of boysenberry, leather and tar marry with firm yet round tannins to give a long, generous finish.

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