Shop Review: "The 2015 Maipe Malbec is another 100% Malbec, with a deep purple color and a style similar to the Lexicon, with chocolaty, blackcurrant and blackberry fruit, as well as touches of licorice and earth. It is delicious, soft and round." - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (March 2016), 87 pts - Excellent Wine Values for Under $25

My Review: This deep violet wine has strong scents of blackberry on the nose. Pepper and oak mingle on the palette of these sweet flavors making it an interesting and strong combination.
