Squid Jibbly Wines Malbec 2016
Squid Jibbly is a brand you may not have heard of, essentially it's a few mates in various roles in and around the industry who had a little play with some fruit out of the Clare Valley and Langhorne Creek to produce this playful little number.
Carries a lo-fi kinda vibe to it, a wine about youth, fruit, and unencumbered from artifice, or oak. It's fresh, with perhaps just a suggestion of a small amount of stem.
Light of palate, fleet-footed perhaps; carries the classic dusky violet of the variety, but is about freshness and vitality. Good graphite tannin structure leaves a fine coating across the palate. Length goes alright, if not possessing the greatest depth. Fun to drink, you'd reach for a second glass - or more - for sure. 91
