At the suggested price, it is a steal. The 2007 Malbec contains 10% Bonarda. It received the same oak regimen as the Cabernet. Dark ruby/purple-colored, it exhibits a kinky perfume of black cherry, wild black raspberry, earth notes, and leather. On the palate there is plenty of jammy fruit, bright acidity, excellent balance, and a lengthy finish. While it may well evolve for 1-2 years, it can be enjoyed now. It too is a great value.

Rating for Argentina: 92 (average year)<br/><br/>Drinkability: too young, let it sit<br/>

Great malbec. Dark fruit with a med finish.

Very good malbec, better with food
