Winemaker Notes
Purplish red color. Fruity aromas of plum, with a voluptuous end of cherries and hints of vanilla and chocolate. In the palate is fruity, intense and persistent.

Wine Spectator
Toasty and concentrated, with dark nutmeg, cocoa powder and salted licorice notes to the cassis and reduced black cherry puree flavors. Big but balanced, with a long, fresh finish. Drink now through 2015. 2,500 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.
