The Small Wine Review

What can we say?  We have a soft spot for Malbec from Argentina and this one just jumped off the shelf at us last week.  For $10.99 we decided we couldn’t leave the bottle in the store so we took it home and opened it on the spot to go with a snowy afternoon movie on pay per view.  This wine is a deep ruby color with a delightful nose full of fruity plums & blackberries.  On the palate, there is the pleasant “Malbec earthiness” that we so enjoy along with the fruit.  We couldn’t help but notice the lovely balance between the fruit, the earthiness, the oak and the tannins.  Our overall emotional response was a smile and we give this under $12 wine 4 Stars — Highly Recommended
