Winemaker Notes
An opaque, intense red color. The nose displays spices and balsamic notes with marked aromas of violets. Sweet and persistent tannins greet the mouth. The bottling can be cellared another 5 years.

Ripe and fresh, with a delicious core of juicy raspberry and boysenberry fruit woven with licorice and spice notes. The rounded finish has nicely integrated toast. Rock-solid. Drink now. 950 cases made.
Most distinguished and celebrated from Argentina’s Mendoza, Malbec has seen runaway success since the early 2000s. Mendoza’s agreeable, continental climate with hot, dry summers and cold snowy winters allows the perfect conditions for growing outstanding Malbec. This grape is easy to like for its lusty, deep flavors and aromas of blackberry, plum, red cherry, autumn spice and tilled earth. It’s easy to find delicious, fruit-driven, affordable everyday examples and in prices beyond, quite exceptional ones with dense, supple textures that make them capable of aging.
