Pretty, rustic nose with an earthy undercurrent. Leather, black cherry, plum. Medium bodied with a nice hit of spice on the finish.

Nice medium full palate, tannins well integrated. Flavored of jammy black fruits with black licorice, smoke, tar, cedar, pencil lead, and a wet stone minerality. Great value Malbec based wine without being the fruit bomb of Argentina.

Great value for a wine with great character. Exuberant nose. Earthy, manure, strawberry, blueberry. Helped our coq au vin hit a new level.

Decant this baby and 40 minutes later it transforms into liquid velvet. Definitely worth the wait.
