Dark blue and black fruits that seem light on its feet due to balanced acids. Easy drinking and quality Malbec for the price. Screams asado!!!!

A wonderful gift from the Millers! Drunk with Vicki’s birthday steak dinner and next to the Chateauneuf du pape. This is lightly spicy and full bodied. Really nice complement to the meal.

I’m not usually a Malbec guy but this is good. Plum, tobacco, hint of vegetal note on the nose. A black raspberry finish and really smooth tannins.
