Jed Steele’s Writer’s Block project always brings solid value, and this Malbec shows why people gravitate to the variety. It’s a juicy, fruit forward style with some backbone built in to keep the blackberry, cherry, pepper and spice knit together and hanging in with supple grip. A fine grilling companion at a nice price, and a Platinum Award winner at the 2017 San Diego Challenge International Wine & Spirits Competition.
