An extremely impressive effort, this Malbec is binged in a style Californian to the core, rejecting the more sharp and tangy acids of Argentina for a Cabernet like approach, with rich velvety chocolate and cherry flavors and a lingering coffee ground finish. A bit sedimented, it benefited from some time in a decanter with a punt.

The nose on this is a combo of a womans perfume and a hot woman smoking a cigar. Make sense? Good. Very herbaceous, heavy on notes of cilantro and wheat grass. I wasn't offended, intrigued but wldn't buy.
