WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
Deep violet color. Intense blackberry and prune aromas with spicy and vanilla notes. Full bodied palate with good structure and long finish.
Blend: 85% Malbec, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Merlot, 5% Syrah
TASTING NOTES:
Oak frames the rich blueberry jam and nectar flavors in this wine. Bright acidity gives it some verve, and intriguing smoky and espresso notes in the middle make it more than a juicy fruit bomb. It carries off the intensity of its fla-vors, and would stand up to the strong meaty flavor of a thick, black-and-blue steak crusted with grill-char.
