It is Malbec and Shiraz, and my first impressions are pretty and nice. Wino11's first words upon tasting? "Mmm...lovely". Say no more, m'lady - say no more. I have favored Argentina's Trivento Shiraz for some time, and this sleek number has the same deep, sassy tonguecaress - but tempered with the ditzy hurrah of a young inbred Spanish malbec.
Blackberries. Butter. Caramel. Currant. Oh boy. Some acidity - but it fades, gently. Malbec and Shiraz have fairly generic reputations, but in this case the two commingle like Simon and Garfunkle. Or Hart and Mould, if you will - and I know you will.

taking a walk down memory lane, I can't help but notice blogalsky's attention to Argentina. his timing seems prescient from my end as I have been engaged in a love affair with Agentinians (wines) starting from around the time of this most recent and I hope not final post.
miss you, bro
