Toned kind of raspberry and slightly um Jammy Plum like fruit Then on the palette Lots of fruit sweetness again that kind Of bright raspberry character Cherry Maybe And quite a tough tannic grip in there From that Malbec quite chunky quite a Kind of um rustic grip to the wine which For me means that it has to go with a Piece of steak for example and maybe a Lamb but certainly can a red meat Protein is where I think this wine fits Happiest now it's 13.99 a bottle Full price 10.99 and one of Lathe Weights you know mixed dozen deals and 1099 is a better price for it but for a Rustic chunky barbecue and steak wine uh Quite an interesting uh quite an Interesting blend and an unusual blend From lathe weights this is the uh M Squared Melu and Malbec under the gentle Riot Label of lift weights priced at 13.99 or 10.99 in as far as the next dozen and my Wine of the week [Music] [Music] Thank you [Music]
