Dark purple with red violet highlights. Inviting nose of herby blackberry. Medium full palate echoes the nose with black candy and balsam. Medium acidity and medium minus tannins wrapped around it all. Medium finish continues the palate. A nice, Bordeaux-ish, Malbec-led blend that's a great accompaniment for steaks or burgers.
