What reviewers say
“Lots of plum, strawberry, and spice on the big, jammy nose. Tastes fruity, but not jammy. Moderate body, short ending. Very pleasant. Had it with pork and snow pea stir fry. Went extremely well. It’s not every wine that goes with soy sauce, but this wine does.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
This wine is dark purple in color with violet tones. It has aromas of black cherries and blueberries with hints of coffee, vanilla, pepper, and smoke. Full-bodied on the palate, the wine has rich flavors of concentrated cassis, black raspberries, and cranberries with notes of dark chocolate, vanilla, and spice on the long, silky finish.
Tilia Malbec - Syrah is a red from Mendoza, Argentina. At $13.95 for the lowest 750 ml listing, it belongs to the under $15 band. It blends Malbec and Shiraz Syrah.
Its in-cohort standing is measured against 481 other reds from Argentina, not against the corpus as a whole. 1,723 Vivino reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, and those are the ones the calibrated score reads; a separate, broader pool of 1,796 reviewers with at least two ratings each feeds the raw-average track.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this bottle against every other wine those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — four stars from someone who hands out fives means something very different from four stars from someone who rarely goes above three. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a star average.
- Global percentile
- Where Tilia Malbec - Syrah lands against every wine we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — wines of the same type from the same country. A Chilean red is judged against Chilean reds, not against Champagne. Ranked against Red · Argentina (482 wines).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each wine keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 1,723.
