The wine has a classic Malbec look, with a deep inky center and bright ruby along the edges. The nose presents pleasant aromas of black plum and accents of leather and tar. The taste is a rather subdued Argentine Malbec with just a bit if black fruit up front that transitions to some earthy mineral notes midpalate, only to have a reprise of ripe black fruit at the finish. The wine expresses some bright acidity and relatively mellow tannins supporting a long, smooth, dry finish.
Overall, I would rate this wine a solid 8, as it's a pleasant drinking wine that would be ideal for a hearty steak. And it just so happens I have one of those lying around, so tonight I'm enjoying this wine with a rare grilled filet mignon with some grilled corn and steamed sugar snap peas that I picked up at a farmers market last week. Cheers!
