First impression: Cranberry spice, good acidity. Think Thanksgiving wine. — 12 years ago
Favorite wine tasted at the 2011 Food Network Food & Wine Festival in South Beach, Miami: Eagle's Rock - Malbec - Argentina - 2009 — 13 years ago
On the nose, copious prune and raisin, underscored by a pleasant nuttiness, culminating in a distinct sherry aroma. On the tongue, juicy and full. The prune follows through, along with a nice black cherry, all of which is mellowed out by stout, toasty oak. The finish is med-long, warm, and very smooth. Fantastic for $10.00. — 11 years ago
On the nose, prune and stewed plum, held together with sweet spice. On the tongue, silky and reserved at first, but opening up to reveal a full palette of blackberry and ripe plum. The finish is medium to long, the tannins and acidity are light, and this wine goes down almost too easily. — 11 years ago
12 months in barique, 6 bottles in case, sales for $41.00 about. Pungeant nose, very earthy, wet wool, red fruit, Akilia comes from the word Aguila in Latin. Lots of strawberries and red fruits, very well balanced. 8/10 a bit expensive — 12 years ago
