Wine Review: This dark ruby colored Malbec from Valentin Bianchi is a really nice value. It opens with a mild plum and blueberry bouquet. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, balanced, and easy going. The flavor profile is a ripe blueberry with a hint of toasty oak and black currant. The finish is dry and its flavors and mild tannins and gentle acidity linger for a little while after the wine is gone. This Malbec is food friendly and approachable. I would pair it with Theresa's meatloaf. Enjoy – Ken

Winemaker Notes: A deep purple-red color, Valentin Bianchi’s Malbec boasts a nose filled with ripe plums, cherries, hints of vanilla and coffee. The flavors mimic the aromas, with a massive, yet soft and silky, mouthfeel, and a lush, long finish. It is the perfect expression of the highly-praised Malbec grape.
