- My Review: I normally really enjoy Malbecs, so it was no surprise to me that this wine was great. The wine was a beautiful deep ruby hue in the glass. It possessed a sweet dark cherry scent with a hint of spicy vanilla. The wine was dry but balanced with beautiful deep, dark fruity flavors. It was full bodied and smooth with a well-rounded finish.
- I had this wine with a calzone from DP Dough. The deep sweetness paired well with the tangy marinara sauce and the tannic undertones came out to play with the fatty flavor of the mozzarella cheese and earthy sausage. The experience was truly indulgent.
