The wines is a deep inky color in the glass, just as you'd expect from a quality Malbec. The nose is a lovely combination of green grass, vanilla bean, leather and dried herbs, that beckons you to take a sip. The taste is just a treat, with voluminous black fruit up front, blackberry, plum and currant that just envelop the palate before transitioning to some dusty mineral notes midpalate. The tannins are velvety smooth, providing the foundation for a wonderfully long, smooth dry finish with a brief reprise of some peppery spice at the end.
Of course you'll recall that I'm not the biggest Malbec fan, but I am a huge fan of this wine! Chuck really does a fine job with the varietal that could easily make the stoutest Argentine jealous, so I gladly rate this wine a solid 9. This wine would be perfect with a big steak, roast game, or even barbecue, but tonight I am enjoying this wine with some simple tacos! The dark fruit and great mineral notes are perfect paired with a bit of spice, cheers!
