Winery Review: "Deep purple color with violet tints, complex plum, fig, strawberry, spices, and floral aromas: rounded and velvety tannins, excellent length with a distinguished character. Excellent when paired with game, roasted red meats, pasta or pizza."
My Review: This Malbec was a dark brownish red. On the nose there was pomegranate and tomato juice. There was a nice tannic balance with red fruits, raspberries, and the pineapple with a strong finish. The mid palate was chewy with just a little heat, but the variety of flavors compensated for any unpleasantness. I liked this Malbec a lot, and was close to purchasing a bottle myself. It wasn't paired with food, but it would be good with cherry pie, a strawberry parfait, or dark chocolate.
