Bouquet: attractive with a moderate fragrance showing aromas of stone fruits, baked green fruits and citrus. Palate: full bodied, vibrant with a high acidity offering beautiful notes of ripe peaches, ripe apples, slightly floral with a lemony finish
Los Haroldos Reserva de Familia Malbec 2015 $9.99/$19.99 elsewhere
Oak, resin, briary fruit and pasty notes characterize the bouquet. The palate is wiry due to pronounced tartaric acidity, but fair overall. Flavors of rooty berry and brown sugar taste sweet, while the finish is low in verve.

Light burgundy color. On the nose brambly red currant, raspberry with a whiff of orange zest on the back end. Light to medium bodied. Soft flavors of raspberry, soft red fruits, red cherry. Delicate style with dry tannins and great acidity. More old world in style. Great value Pinot Noir.
