Smalls of cashews and dried fruits.

Tastes of granny smith apples, fresh grass, cranberry. Finishes with a salty dry flavor.

Wine is tangy with a rush of fruit flavor, plum/melon and a nutty dry and salt finish.

Hints of dried red fruits on the nose. Nuts, straw and damp soil contribute to the aroma.

Tangy start, citrusy and acidic, sweet on the palatte lighter fresh red fruits linger through the finish.

Slow finish, well balanced wine.

Pairs well with any meat or alone. Nice wine for casual drinker or wine lover.

Strong fruity aroma. Big rich flavors. Very dark and ripe fruit flavors in this smooth wine. I havn't tried a ton of Malbecs, but I really like the flavors in this wine.

Bitter and tart start to finish. Does even out a bit, but overall not the best drinking wine.

Great wine. Dark fruity body consisting of cherry flavors and other dark fruits. Maybe a little plum. Nice delicate finish. Very balanced and enjoyable!

Dave Del Priore gave me this wine as it is one of his favorites. I am going to add it to my list of affordable favorites.
