Sweet on the nose, with licorice and black pepper dust along with ripe black fruit aromas. The palate is deep and pure, with black fruit flavors and a slightly syrupy underbelly. Burns a little on the finish, with spice and fig flavors providing depth and character. 416 cases produced.

Candied, dark and murky on the nose, then narrow, clampy and tannic in the mouth. Flavors are herbal, while the fruit content is sweet blackberry and black plum. Short and hollow on the finish, which leaves a grapey residue.

Ashy, green and funky smelling, then sweet, chunky and murky tasting. Nothing is meshing here. It’s barely acceptable.

Awfully green and scratchy for a $30 “special edition” Malbec. The nose is brambly and rapidly devolves into outright grassy. The palate is narrow and underdeveloped, with reedy, raspy flavors of plum, raspberry and mint. Far from what you’d hope for from a higher-priced wine; 350 cases produced.

Grapey blackberry aromas come across foxy. The palate is wet and high in acidity, leaving a semisour flavor profile with only a few hints of sweetness around the edges. Drying, herbal and salty.
