Concentrated red berries lead to a very smooth, velvety palate. Nice acidity keeps this from feeling heavy.

Blueberry sauce, black cherry, violets, cocoa powder, dried herbs, underbrush, coffee grounds. A tiny bit syrupy but delicious with the BLT pasta tonight

Plum, cherry, black tea leaf, hint of dark chocolate and light floral scent fill a very aromatic nose. On the palate it gentle and smooth, with round acidity and resolved tannins. Lingering finished with a mineral undertone.
A well balanced and polished single vineyard Malbec.

Certainly tasted the herbs and noted the minerality, but not so much the fruit.
