Winemaker Notes
An intensely dark wine with touches of fuchsia on the rim. This generous Malbec brims with aromas of black and red cherry, blueberry cheesecake and spice box. The palate is concentrated and bright, cascading with focused flavors of brioche, fresh red plum, dark chocolate and nutmeg supported by fine-grained tannins.

Wine Enthusiast
This is one of the wines in a joint venture between Bertrand Vigouroux of Cahors and California winemaker/consultant Paul Hobbs. It is rich without ever being too firm or extracted. The fruits are right there along with vibrant acidity and plenty of room for the wine to open up.

Wine Spectator
A plush but powerful style, with layers of raspberry puree, ripe cherry and licorice notes detailed by floral, cocoa powder and spice accents. Hot stone, olive and herb hints echo on the finish. Drink now through 2021.
