Zolo Malbec Reserve 2017 brand_Oak Farm Vineyards with wonderfully abundant yet sweetA saturated black color and aromas of raisin and prune offer a dense opening suggestive of fruit cake. This Malbec feels sappy, sticky and a bit syrupy. In terms of flavors, this offers baked black fruit backed by chocolaty richness. Other than a beefy ripe fruit flavor there's not much to the finish. Lush flavors of strawberries, plums and blackberries. Aged in French and American oak for 6 months, which add subtle notes of cocoa and vanilla.
