9.0

Had it with steak fondue. It would have paired better with lamb or paella since the flavor was bolder. It didn’t linger long so it wasn’t bad. It just wasn’t paired well and that was our fault. We would certainly buy it again. Very tasty. — 14 days ago

A very pleasant Malbec that went awesome with some properly marinated beef. Excellent balance with a mildly spicy meal! — a year ago

9.0

A most interesting red. Strong start, quick finish, no bite. Doesn’t linger like an unwanted guest. A red blend that seems like it shouldn’t work but certainly does and always results in an empty bottle and looking forward to when the next one is opened. — a year ago

9.2

Paired with chicken thigh paella. Dry with a fast finish. Somewhat bold flavor that paired perfect with bold flavor paella. The fast finish was perfect with the lasting flavor of the food making the wine not compete with the meal. — 21 days ago

Oddly enough it does connect with you more each time you have some. Most enjoyable to have multiple small servings spread out over the day or a couple days. Not overbearing but still has good body. — a year ago

Very pleasant with mild sweetness. Does have a hint of apple taste and went wonderful with a salad that had apple chunks with dried cranberries in it. A new favorite for me. — a year ago

It was good with full body classic Malbec. Humorously though it wasn’t one that was the most memorable either so we forget the rest. LOL. — 2 years ago

A little bitey at first but settles well. Definitely better with aerating and having a moment to breath. Enjoyed with tortellini and low acidic spaghetti sauce. — 10 months ago

9.3

Laughing when I say this… the first glass tastes just as wonderful as the last glass. Often when we do tastings the last glass tastes good but later we wonder why in the world we liked it so much. This one is enjoyable from the very first sip. Regardless of the crazy label and name, it’s a great selection to enjoy with dinner and a partner. — 10 months ago

As stated by others, short on the palate. Different from many others so worth a try. Not our “go-to” though. — 2 years ago
