A bit stalky on the nose, with tropical aromas and lychee. The palate is a little broken down and heavy, with flat citrus and lychee flavors. Finishes wan, with dried apricot notes.

A dilute and scratchy wine that lacks the body and depth of good Cab. Frankly, it’s sour, lean and tough, with tart plum and pie cherry flavors. Dry as a bone on the finish.

Lightly herbal and red in character, with tomato and raspberry aromas. The palate is snappy and emphasizes freshness, while the flavors are herbal and leafy, with plenty of red berry and cherry. Snappy and pointed, with a leafy overriding personality.

Opens with classic lychee and melon aromas and only a touch of flower blossom. The palate has a nice, clean, healthy feel and flavors of green apple, lime and melon. Exceedingly clean and easygoing, with juicy acidity and proper balance.

Rubbery and sort of reduced on the nose, with sulfur and gaseous notes. After airing, it shows a juicy but plump mouthfeel with standard, perfectly good blackberry and herbal flavors. Finishes warm, full and toasty, but also a bit lemony and clacky.

Solid to start out, with mostly clean, fresh berry aromas and some medicinality. The palate is snappy, juicy and clean, with black cherry, plum and berry flavors. Forward on the finish, and composed for what is essentially a standard Malbec.

* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A lean, acidic Malbec that defies the tried and true model of richness and lots of flavor. It has rhubarb and green raspberry aromas, while the palate is short, tart and herbal. Not a lot of definition here.

Red-fruit aromas mix with grass clippings on the nose, and the palate is acidic, with tart, lean red fruit flavors.
