Winery Review:Dark, with a core of very ripe black currant, raspberry ganache and black licorice notes, supported by polished tannins. A raspberry note emerges more on the lengthy finish. Very solid
My Review: This Malbec was leaps and bounds better than the Tilia Malbec that I tried a few days ago. The acidic, tannic component was well balanced with pleasant raspberry and black currant components that compliment this smooth, easy drinking red wine. Certainly not as dry as a Merlot, but not as heavy as a Cabernet, which is a welcome surprise to those that are put off by strong red wines. Enjoy this wine with a mild cheese and you'll be able to detect more of the fruity characteristics of the wine.
