Not bad, not bad at all for a bargain Malbec. Rich and earthy flavors with quick tannins and a green astringency. Robust and bitter flavors of coffee and unsweetened cocoa combined nicely with some lighter flavors of dried fruit. Definitely a spicy wine.
I give this wine 4 out of 5 stars.

I enjoy this wine for the price! Tried to buy a case of it at Traders Joe's and they didn't even have a bottle left on the shelf. Bought their Cabernet instead, but didn't like it near as well.
Absolutely a great QPR (quality price ratio). I'd put this uo against Malbec's that run 3X as much. You won't find another Malbec (or any wine) at this price with such good balance and complexity. I'm not saying it's a 90 pt wine by any means, but as a daily drinker - you'd be hard pressed to find any better.
