2021 Brandlin Estate Malbec, Mount Veeder

92 Points
Excellent; highly recommended “Mouthwatering flavors of mixed berries and plums are lifted by aromas of cedar and tobacco. Silky but still lightly grippy tannins carry through a long finish. A good pairing for many foods.”

Outstanding: a wine of superior character and style “Shows a mix of Black Forest cake, kirsch, spiced plum and clove details, with espresso and tobacco accents to the core of blackberry and cherry, plus hints of black pepper and dense, polished tannins. Drink now.”
