Blackberry, rubber and a suggestion of minerality work well as an invitation to this juicy, woody wine that’s long and full in the mouth, with dark-fruit flavors of black cherry, blackberry and plum. Woody and toasty, too, but dry and spicy rather than sweet, blowsy and creamy. A nice Malbec for all occasions. ——M.S.(3/1/2011)—— 88
