I thought the sparkler was pretty tasty, especially for the mid-teen price point.

I also dug the Carmenere, though I only had it from a bottle that sat open for a while. The herbaceous character become a bit more subdued and there was a really nice peppery character in the finish.

I didn’t give the Torrontes much of a try, but found it was pleasant enough and not quite as overly floral as other examples I’ve had. It wore the 14% ABV well.

The BenMarco was juicy and smooth, everything people have come to expect from Malbec.
