On our recent trip to the Cape we had dinner with friends at a restaurant where this wine was listed as one of their top offerings. We shared a bottle and I was impressed with the quality of this Mendoza Malbec. It has a nose of plums, cedar and earth. Initial attack of black cherry, blackberries and some iodine. Fresh tannins and balanced acidity make for a fresh mouthfeel. Mid length finish of dark fruits and a lashing of tannins on the back end mingle with some tobacco hints. I agree with WS, 90 points and 4 stars for this $16 offering. Salut….
