Beverage Testing Institute Review: "Garnet color. Aromas of black cherry, plum jam, rich dark soil, and violet honey with a lightly tannic, lively, dry medium-to-full body and a tingling, complex, medium-long black cherry, rich garden soil, crushed plum, and cinnamon toast finish with medium tannins and moderate oak. Dense, dark and chewy with earthy complexity, balancing the luscious jammy fruit qualities of new world with earthy qualities of old world wines."
My Review: Malbec is wine I tend to love so I was really excited to try this one at the tasting. The scent was spicy and dry. Overall a very peppery wine with a hint of cinnamon. There was also a hint of dark berries, like blackberries. Did not try with food.
