What a great nose on this Malbec, with aromas of cherry,
dark plum, blackberry, spices, vanilla and floral notes. On the palate,
medium-full bodied, red fruit and gentle wood spices flavours with fresh
acidity and well integrated tannins. Medium length on the finish with spicy,
juicy red and black fruit flavours. This well balanced, youthful and easy
drinking nature of this Malbec makes it a great value for entertaining over
this summer BBQ season. I especially liked how well handled the oak treatment was on this
Malbec, by doing so, it preserved the fruity character and freshness of this
wine. This wine is 100% Malbec grapes, aging took place in first and second use
French and American oak for 12 months with alcohol coming in at 14%. Strongly
recommended, score 90 points.
