Needs to air after first opening bottle but then reveals plush dark fruits, nice body and acid, has Burgundian overtones to me but at same time taste like modern Sonoma Pinot. — 11 years ago

Old Vine Mendoza Malbec 2011

This old vine malbec had a strong aroma of sweet red black plums, sweet cherries with hints of smokiness almost like a campfire. On the tongue you get a strong vanilla cherry sweetness with a long complex finish of dried cherries. I had this wine with a home made veggie chili and it was an amaaaazing pairing! It was the perfect balance of spicy and sweetness! — 13 years ago
