    Joe can jump in and hopefully elaborate, but the ratings are not from the site, they are from independent reviewers; not all wines are "rated," especially the smaller productions.

        Hmmm, I was interested, that's why I asked about the ratings (since this one isn't rated). And I need more reds. I'm starting to run very, very low.

        Well, never mind, the Malbec is gone.

          Hey glad you found us and hope you enjoy the site

          I had bout 6 bottles of this still have 1 left. It is a screw cap but what a nice taste. For the money it is a great buy.

              *****Jonathan Newman: 93/100 Rating

              "This densely concentrated wine is packed with black fruit, especially sweet black currants. It also has notes of coffee, spice box and plum. It's very big-bodied and powerful, with deep purple color and intense flavors. Yet the tannins are well-managed and smooth, and it's extremely well-balanced -- for all that power, it's only 13.2 percent alcohol. In fact, if you serve this blind to your friends, they might think it's a premium Saint-Emilion from Bordeaux, although the mouthful of fruit will confuse them. This wine's elegance means it should age well if you want to do that, though I think it's drinking great right now."

                Yes but it was IMO under rated should have been an 88


                Really for under $7.50 it was a steal.

                I Just had a bottle of the 2001 Paladrini Shiraz with dinner. It had a bit of sediment but it was not to bad for the $8 or $9 I spent on it. They had a similar one up from the same vineyard but I think it was a 2004. Either way it got me a buzz.


                Good thing for spell check

                              Luanne, another Malbec

                              I gave in and picked up four. I really do like Malbec, and at $8.99 it's pretty hard to resist.
