winemaker's notes:

This wine is made by blending Malbec from the three best growing areas in Mendoza. In these areas, the grapes develop sweet tannins, intense fruit and good acidity/sugar balance, combining the characteristics of each area. Red purple color. Intense black fruits and red plum aromas. Smooth and concentrated tannins in the mouth.

  Good Malbec - 8/14/2008
I would buy this wine again

If you like Malbecs, this is a decent bottle. The flavor was even, hint of fruit.

I would buy this wine again

I shared this bottle with friends and we all thought it was easy drinking. I would definitely buy this bottle again. So far, I really like Malbecs. This is the second bottle I've tried. I like it better than the Punto Final Malbec.

I would buy this wine again

Very drinkable, a very good wine for a mixed dinner party. But it didn't hit me like I thought it would, the nose was very mild and the flavors faded fast. I did however drink the whole bottle, I was thirsty.

Kosher wine
Kosher
A Kosher wine begins like every other - as grapes on a vine. Once they reach the winery for crushing, the wine is under strict rabbinal supervision.

Screw Cap wine
Screw Cap
Many studies report and winemakers agree that screw caps protect wine better and preserve its flavor more effectively than cork. More importantly, screw caps eliminate cork taint caused by TCA, a compound which develops in a small percentage of corks and ruins the taste of wine.
