Aromas of cedar and tobacco with ripe dark fruit. Flavors of ripe plum, cherries and anise. Firm tannins suggest it could use a little bottle age.

Color of costume blood, very full bodied. Nice clean finish. Lots of fruit. Super jammy. Delicious.

Scrumptious wine. It wears this bathrobe of flinty earthiness as if it had soaked all autumn with blackberries and falling dry leaves in a lagoon formed from natural stone and peat. So nice with cream Havarti

This wine made me smile with every single sip, unbelievably good. The bottle pours out a beet and blackberry color blood. It's nose is rich with dried black fruits, crushed plums, dark cherries, yeast and some floral aromatics. It's dominent in black cherry, blackberry and plum flavors. Notes of cracked black pepper and blueberries accompany its dominating flavors. It sits with a medium plus body. It's tannins are a perfect velvety medium grain, it's acidity is moderate, all of which settle with a long finish. I was completely suprised at how much I liked this as I'd usually pick Argentina as king for this grape, but bravo..I've found my new favorite Malbec.

Dark fruit, leather, chocolate. Tannins suggest this will get better with age. So different from Argentinian Malbec

Nose has cedar, butterscotch, rum. Palette is fleshy with dark fruit, grass, sage, spicy anise and licorice, a little bit rubbery, chocolatey tannins.
