Malbec Reserve– 2004; Killer Bee; Maipo Valley; Chile

For those who like rich, deep red wines, this is a lovely well balanced fruit forward Malbec from Chile that we recommend. The wine has a beautiful deep red color with a nice balance between the rich berry fruit flavors and the smoky depth of a well aged red. The wine is a medium-bodied red crafted from fruit from low yield vineyards and aged in both American and French oak. The tannins are not overpowering, making this wine a delight to drink on its own as well as paired with a lovely steak or Italian dinner.  This one will please those who like a nice hearty, earthy, slightly smoky red that is not too dry.
