Deep purple in color with a beautiful purple rim.

Strong fruity nose of blackberries, plums, sweet cherry pie, earth and peppercorn.

Full bodied and bold with medium acidity.

Dry and fruity on the palate with sweet plums, spices, chocolates, tobacco, mocha, coke, earth and black pepper.

Short finish with soft tannins and tangy cherries.

I had this at a friend's house, and I think it was at a few days old, so it wasn't very appealing. Drinkable, nonetheless and simple.

13% alcohol by volume.

2.9. Not a bad Malbec from 2016, but has that Malbec taste that is not my favorite. On sale for $6.99, regularly $8.99, which is rather amazing.

For an $8 bottle of wine I was impressed. Nice spicy, complex flavor. I will be back for more my friend Trader Joe. Count on it.

Rating this for my husband who loves Malbec. For a $8-10 bottle from the grocery store he really enjoyed. No hangover and would buy again .
