Winemaker’s comments Appearance: Deep purple-red that is nearly opaque with a magenta-tinged rim Nose: Aromas of blackberry, plum, black cherry and spice. Palate: Incredibly well structured and velvety with delicious flavors of black fruits such as plum and currants nuanced with black pepper and a sweet tobacco finish. Food recommendations Mischa Malbec drinks well on its own, but also compliments lean cuts of meat like flank, sirloin and skirt steak, chicken and other meats like lamb and pork.
