Winemaker, Silvio Alberto writes on the back of the bottle to, "Please enjoy this wine with our best wishes." I can say confidently that we did. This was a great pick up, especially for the price, from Hi Times.
It was a bigger Malbec. It had a dark, inky color. It had a great nose, though I'm not sure I picked up the "black currant," "cassis" or "lavender." I did agree with the "lush flavors" noted on the back of the bottle. It had a lot going on, yet it was balanced. It had a bit of spice, which before dinner seemed "smokey" and after dinner seemed to have a bit of a burn. Nothing to worry about though. This was a really, really nice bottle for under $10.
Grade: B
