"The wine has a beautiful reddish/purple color as most good Malbecs do. The aromas are a mix of freshly crushed black cherries and toasty/smoky oak—just enough to frame the exuberant fruit. On the palate, the flavors of cherries and spice are obvious, and the jammy fruit quality just keeps coming on strong, with hints of spice and sandalwood lurking in the background. This is a wine that you’ll want to buy by the case because it can be consumed at almost any occasion, whether at a fancy dinner party, or just curled up on the couch in front of a movie. Fun and delicious—what more can you ask for?"

"Deceptively sweet aromas of strawberries, raspberries and rose petals. The flavors are dark, rich, lusciously mouthwatering, with cherries, boysenberries, tart plum skins, hints of leather, sweet pipe tobacco, and coffee beans. The tannins are firm, but not a bit edgy and the finish lingers with just a touch of anise. A truly lovely vintage."

"Juicy and approachable, with tons of raspberry, cocoa and cassis packed into the nose and palate. Mild tannins and forward fruit make this wine ready for food."

"Deep amber color. Soft aromas of baked raisins, toffee, and baking spice. A silky entry leads to a dry-yet-fruity medium-to-full body of peppery spice, baking spice, and raisins and nuts. Finishes with a long, supple mineral, fruit, and spice fade. Excellent structure and balance, in a soft feminine style."
