Med Ruby with youthful aromas of black and red fruits with spicy notes. On the palate flavors of blueberry, red cherry, black pepper and some herbaceous notes. Medium length finish ending with a fruit and spice character. Tasting Sample.

Trendy violet reflex, soft and jammy. Another great bargain from Argentina(with an Italian touch).

Nice ripe aromas, plenty of oak but pretty soft and jammy.

Pours apple in color. Aromas of smoke, plum and cigar. Aroma of a heavily toasted barrel. Flavors of plum and dark berries along with cigar. A slight acidic bite. Medium + body. As for the finish the Flavors dissipate quickly but the acid stays longer

Higher elevation more calcareous soils and a bit more new oak a lot more 100% versus 1/3 for the terroir

So fresh & sappy.
Poised & balanced with great freshness. Juicy black fruit, with some iron, blood & fresh turned earth in the background. Surprisingly light.
On the palate this is juicy, joyful, fresh with tart cherry acidity, some stony minerality and great freshness. Delicious with grilled meat.
