Wine Review: This Malbec was a crowd pleaser at a mini tasting that I recently conducted. It is a very dark ruby colored wine and opens with a very appealing light cherry bouquet. On the palate, this medium bodied wine is smooth, well balanced, with juicy black cherry flavors with a touch of spice and pepper. The finish is dry and lingers slightly. This very easy drinking wine is quite tasty,approachable, and would pair nicely with prime rib. It is also a steal at $13. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: The result is High Note’s brilliant violet color and with intense, sweet spice on the palate balanced by notes of plums, cassis, blackberries, and black cherries. It is creamy, smooth, and ripe in the mouth with soft, round tannins and a long silky finish.
