Winemakers Notes

The wine has a beautiful reddish/purple color as most good Malbecs do. The aromas are a mix of fresh crushed cherries and toasty/smoky oak—just enough to frame the exuberant fruit. On the palate, the flavors of cherries and spice are obvious, and the jammy fruit quality just keeps coming on strong, with hints of spice and sandalwood lurking in the background.

This is a nice bottle. Dark black fruit and earth. Round tannins and long finish. This is a great wine for the price.

Another great value from Susana Balbo. Violet-hued. The nose has lots of smoke, spice, and berry. Even though it seems a bit hot from alcohol, the wine is wonderfully balanced with round tannins and moderate acidity. See additional wine reviews at: http://winedinewith.us/

Loved this rose -- wasn't too metallic as some roses can taste, wasn't too dry like a white, great flavor and body like a red. This is the perfect rose for both white and red drinkers afraid that "pink" wine is like white zinfandel. It will convert them.

The color was bright translucent pink, the color of cranapple juice.The nose was sweet, strawberry, candied cherries and some spice, maybe cloves and ginger. It was full-bodied, a true child of the juice and the skins, rather than just the juice, with the skins in the role of a distant uncle. The palate opened with sweet fruit, strawberry and cherries, but a firm midpalate of smoke, cloves and ginger said this was a serious wine. Then it got playful again, ending in candied fruit and ginger, like a fresh holiday fruit cake.SECOND NIGHTClose your eyes and take a sniff- is that a glass of wine or am I in a room full of strawberries? Nope, not just strawberries, there are some Ruby Red grapefruit here, too, and cinnamon. Sip it. Strawberries first, just like the nose, a touch of cocoa powder that reminds you it comes from malbec grapes, then the same Ruby Red grapefruit and cinammon from the nose. Some of the cherries from night one join for the finish.This is a good rose. It is bright, acidic, fresh, and even just slightly tannic. This is a rose that reminds you it really does come from a red grape, not just a tinted white.

WA 90pts. - Winemaker Notes - The wine has a beautiful reddish/purple color as most good Malbecs do.

On the palate, the flavors of cherries and spice are obvious, and the jammy fruit quality just keeps coming on strong, with hints of spice and sandalwood lurking in the background. This is a wine that you ll want to buy by the case because it can be consumed at almost any occasion, whether at a fancy dinner party, or just curled up on the couch in front of a movie.
