2004 Imagery Estate Winery Malbec Artist Collection Red Hills Lake County

(USA, California, North Coast, Lake County)

Nice softer malbec. Darkly colored. The nose was on the softer side, dark plum, blueberry. The palate was a typical malbec in that it quickly transitioned to the mid pallet with the taste of t tobacco, and green pepper but with that twist of tree bark and wet leaves. Nice in texture, and long mid palate with the finish lingering but a touch on the bitter side. It is mildly oaky, and well balanced. Worth a try for the money.

LOVE the nose on this wine, very floral, lots of fresh lilacs, Kind of like baby-wipes in a good way. Nice black olives, wet logs, cedar, tobacco and kind of like a Smokey burning cigar. Really cool and different nose. The color is a very deep purple close to light brown. Full bodied. Explosive pallet that’s not hot but more smooth and a medium time to the finish. Fruity with a strong Welch’s grape juice on the mid pallet. Little black olives, dark cherry and cinnamon and continued fruit through the finish. Very little bitterness on the finish and just a touch of tannins. I really like this wine. It’s not an everyday wine but priced fair at 16 bucks. This is a definitely try wine. Let me know how you like.
