Maal Wines 'Imposible' Malbec 2016 Review

This wine is balanced and has some interesting aromas, like mint and blackberries with a touch of vanilla, but I gotta be real here... If this wine was between $10 and $15 I’d be like, yeah, it's solid, buy it. But at $30 I am not sure you're paying for the wine so much as this brand's trendy label. Either way, the wine is fine and looks cool, so could work for a gift for a host if you want to walk in with a google-able friendly price tag.
