Winery review: This wine is blended in the signature Blackstone style: smooth, flavorful and balanced. Subtle aromas of rose petal are complemented by the rich fruit flavors of plum and blueberry. The finish is lush and spicy, with hints of vanilla.
My review: I had a Night Harvest Merlot right before this Malbec and I was especially impressed with how the body and the acidity changed from one type of grape to another, but also with the price of one bottle to another. This Malbec has a full and balanced body and a soothing acidic mid-palate and aftertaste.
I had this wine with smoked cheddar and bacon flavored cheese and Club crackers. The cheese really helped to differentiate my taste from the wine so I could start with a fresh palate every time I wanted to search for a different flavor in the wine.
