I enjoy the nose more than the wine. It's a light-medium body, easy drinking but doesn't grab my attention as much as I thought it would.

This is one of the first Malbec's I've tasted and it was quite nice. If you like rich full bodied wine with notes of berries, violet and chocolate give this wine a go.

I was not impressed with this wine and found it very overbearing and spicy.

I had this wine a couple of weeks ago, so I can't quite remember the taste exactly but I remember that I was pleasantly surprised how good it was for a bottle under $10 Cdn. I would buy this bottle again. And will soon so I can write a proper tasting experience.

*The wine shows good color density with youthful purple red hues. The aromas are enticing spicy, red fruits of raspberry and sour cherry with licorice and black tea spice. The palate delivers a full, yet supple wine with great raspberry and cherry Zinfandel fruit presence and richness of flavor.*

*taken from their website

But I totally agree with it and recommend it as a bottle under $11 Cdn it's not too spicy as the write-up above uses the word spice a couple of times. It's actually smooth and a easy drinking wine.
