Barefoot Cellars Malbec 1.5 L (6 Bottles)

A simple red wine with straight-forward aromas and flavors of blackberry, blueberry, cinnamon and vanilla. Fruits are overripe and jammy in nature; the palate incorporates a chalky tannic texture leading to a medium-length finish. \n \n Producer Information \n Barefoot Cellars is a California producer offering a large selection of value-driven wines.
