Thin and sharp as broken glass, with an herbal, sour flavor profile and a tart, sheering mouthfeel and finish. Compared to previous vintages when this wine impressed, this is a loser. Barely drinkable, it’s so lean and sour.

Heavier and more baked than desirable, with chocolate-covered berry fruit on the nose. This is a sticky, hefty wine with some balance issues. It also tastes a bit peculiar, as floral, green notes interfere with the sweet, jammy red-fruit component. A little gummy and bitter as well.

A heavy, blocky wine with a dark color and aromas that lean toward raisin and reduced balsamic vinegar. The palate is quite full and slightly syrupy in feel, while the flavors are of boysenberry and dark, toasty oak. Finishes with even more crusty, espresso-like wood flavors, leaving displaced wood as the lasting impression.

An extracted, full-bodied style of Malbec with blackberry aromas, density, meatiness and heft. It’s thick and a bit awkward, especially early on, and then a roasted berry quality takes over. Solid as a rock, somewhat floral and young, with good kick at the end.

Big, stacked, deep and dark Malbec. The nose is rich, spicy and black in character, while the palate is bulky and shows generous blackberry, dark plum and chocolate flavors. Holds steady on the finish as it delivers muscle as well as some complexity. Well-made wine for the money.
