* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

Dark, gummy and full of heavily applied green oak, this wine has a candied, murky, resiny persona. And that’s too bad, because it has potential; yet the tannins, wood resin, mesquite and beefy black fruit are all too dominant and thus it never settles or shows much harmony.

* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

Full and fruity, with a dusty edge to the nose and accents of black pepper. Fairly thick and textured on the palate, with a freshness of fruit that works well on the palate. Blackberry, licorice and floral elements all add to the wine's appeal.

Bigger and bulkier than the regular Malbec, with more overt oak. There's a roasted, toasty edge to the bouquet and then concentrated plum and berry flavors. It finishes narrow, dry and oily, with wood and chocolate flavors.

Candied, tutti-frutti aromas give this a sweet, somewhat faux bouquet with little concentration. But the palate is chewy and grabby enough, with solid but modest raspberry and red plum flavors. Mellow on the finish, with a decent feel. Good but not distinguished. Malbec with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.

Dark, compact and with good lift. The nose is lively and the palate shows medicinal black cherry and coffee flavors. Juicy enough, with driving but blended acidity pushing a spicy, minty finish. Peppy but nice for Argentine Merlot.

Daddy LIKE. This is a wonderfully complex wine with ripe fruit flavors of plum and dark cherry interwoven with layers of mocha, spice box, and sweet tobacco. Nice long finish. While full in flavor this wine is not overwhelmingly big in body. Soft tannins--well balanced--excellent.

Smooth and earthy Argentinian goodness. Not sure why the name sounds Italian...

This cab has grown on me with each sip. More French in style (the earthiness) than Californian. I also get some green notes to go with the pleasant bell pepper flavor.
