Dark, dark tarty fruits. Bottle might have a little cork taint as the finish is off.

Dark rich red. Aromas overwhelmed, red raspberry, dark plum & cherry. Great acidity and tannins leading to a spicy, pepper finish. Great pairing with Ravioli.

Big name vineyard delivers in a BIG way.

The addition of Malbec to their Merlot is genius! Bottle has hints of mocha, blueberry, clove/smoke and cherry.

Ready right now but would still benefit from a nice nap; 5/7 years.
