Deep, dense Malbec with jammy aromas of blackberry and violet flowers. The palate is thick and meaty but not cloying or oaky, while the plum, berry and currant flavors are appealing. Textured and full, but also bright and healthy.——M.S.(8/1/2011)—— 88

Dense, soupy and a little raisiny, with an overripe quality to the nose. Jammy in the mouth, but on the palate things unwind and improve. The flavors are of ultraripe but not cooked berry fruit, while the finish hints at stewed and chocolaty. Only go here if you like full, rich, sweet red wines. ——M.S.(7/1/2010)—— 86
