This is a very concentrated wine with lots of black fruit and spices. The palate is complex and layered. The blend of Merlot and Cabernet carries the day.The. Petit verdot provides substantial color making this wine opaque. — 7 months ago

A Kosher, Organic, Vegan Malbec of Tupungato’s Region Argentina. Aromatic, Plummy, Ripe Raspberry, a bit earthy. On the palate, soft dry and medium-bodied and a medium plus acidity with subtle tannins.
Mouthfeel is on the velvety, mild spices, and medley of berries on the finish. Absolutely casual and easy to drink for a fraction of the cost. It’s the least complex in its price point. Cheers and had it on Malbec world day. Cheers! — 7 months ago
