Finca Beltram – Malbec
This wine has to open up a bit (about 30min), but once it has done so, it is pretty decent. Rich red berry, fig, and vanilla flavors lead to a medium finish with hints of leather and coffee. The tannins are a little astringent, but it is quite decent for a $10 peso wine. Would [...]

I went to Primafila on a Saturday afternoon to take advantage [...]
