Very nice showing for this wine. Light to medium gold in color, clear and bright. The nose is clean with green apples and slight lemon peel. Also, a bit of spice. Medium to full bodied. Wispy tannins. Nice acidity. On the palate, some depth. Flavors of apples and lemon. Good finish. This is drinking well and should for another four to seven years. Nice on its own, this will work with many foods. A good choice would be Pad Thai. Hard to beat this for the money.
This is a "Port Style" wine made from Malbec grapes in Argentina. Even the bottle is a "Port" type bottle. Purple/blue in color, opaque and shimmering bright.
