A heavy load, with berry jam, marshmallow and other unconvincing aromas. Dark as night but clumsy as can be, with thick flavors and a core sweetness that doesn’t seem natural. Imported by Global Wine Imports LLC.

Dry and lean up front, but clean. It’s fast and tart in the mouth, with a finish that borders on sour. A lot more acidity and snap than substance.

Ripe, with leather, balsamic and prune aromas. Saturated in the mouth, but ultimately it’s narrow in scope. On the finish, creamy oak rises up to leave butter and resin flavors. A fairly big wine with ample barrel influence.

Bold blackberry and cola aromas work the nose on this bold, muscular Malbec-Syrah blend. But just when your expectations are at their highest, the palate doesn’t quite meet expectations with its angular acidity and sharp-edged feel. The fruit is here, and with it the aromas and flavors. But moutfeel and balance are thin and piercing.

Intense on the nose and colorful, but in the end this wine shows little character, complexity or style. It’s all about color and extract but you don’t get much richness, charm or ripeness. And it’s almost sassy and tangy on the palate and finish.

A strange set of aromas makes for an unusual bouquet: violets, black cherry, flower-scented air freshener and blueberry are all part of the picture. The palate is superficial and not real deep, with candied, unconventional flavors of herbal berry and candy. Finishes jammy and off the grid.
