Wine Review: This ruby colored Malbec is a very good value wine. It opens with a mild dried cranberry and red raspberry bouquet. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied and shows some structure. The flavor profile is craisin and raspberry blend with a kiss of oak. The finish is dry and its mild tannins linger slightly. Pair this will with Angus sliders. Enjoy – Ken

Winemaker Notes: Rich, ripe fruit, soft tannins and a hedonistic line-up of aromas and flavors: black cherry, blackberry, violets, dark chocolate, and spice.
