Elegant blend of malbec and cabernet franc. Deep yet fresh with a lovely jalapeño, berries and chocolate nose. Medium body, silky firm tannins and a loooong finish.

Sweet, very drinkable, smooth wine. Nice for summer with strong foods or cheese.

Fantastic malbec. Deep red/purple tones. A bit too oaky for my taste. Leather, tobacco, grilled peppers, actual pepper, maybe even a hint of smoke. Balanced tannins, long finish.
