Spicy blackberry and dark plum aromas are balsamic and earthy, with a hint of cinnamon. A lively palate pops with acidity before settling, while this tastes of earthy berry fruits, prune and salt. Dry tannins keep this focused and on path through the finish. For a value-priced Malbec, this shows complexity and a higher-than-normal level of quality. *Best Buy* (MS)
