Has nice softness with the addition of Merlot. Bramble berry aromas. Great value!

80/20 Malbec/Merlot Blend. Dark cherry fruit with hints of herbs and spice. Black pepper on the finish. The Merlot does smooth out the finish.

Offers so much for the price! I think other vintages have been a little better but still well worth buying!
