Review: Previous vintage, 90 points, Rober Parker 5% Bonarda in its blend. It spent 9 months in 50% new French and American oak. Notes of balsam wood, smoke, black cherry and spice box lead to a similarly styled wine that comes off as just a bit too lean. Again, the flavors are pleasant, but should be drunk over the next several year while it retains its fruits.
My Review: This is the second Malbec I have tasted and I have to say, this might be a favorite variety! I found that this one also had a very smooth flavor that was very easy to drink. I could taste the sort of spiced flavor to it. I like that it isn't a very intense red wine, I think it is a great starter red.
I did not have this wine with food.
