Winemaker Notes
The fruit is hand-picked and fermented with native yeast before it is aged two years in a mix of French oak of different ages, and then another year in bottle. The Malbec shows notes of blackberries, warm blueberry pancakes, and maraschino cherries while being intensely layered with baking spices of clove, cinnamon, sage, licorice, and cedar. Light hints of orange peel, eucalyptus, white powdered sugar and red velvet cake dance around the core. The wine finishes with integrated earth components of soil, dry crushed leaves, and an animal quality that screams being alive.

Decanter
An authentic, elegant and well-aged wine from a small block of old-vine Malbec, which is still ploughed by horse. Seductive layers of dried fruit and spice with a fresh, long finish. Old World in the New World.

Wine Enthusiast
Ripe, earthy black fruit aromas are balsamic and suggest boozy spice cake. Following the nose, this Malbec from a very good vintage is jammy in feel, with thorough ripeness. Prune, raisin, molasses and cassis flavors wrap up quickly on a slightly hot finish. Drink now.
