Top Notes For

I love this label but just can't get down with these wines. In a phrase not often heard...these wines need some new oak, every single one of them. They're ripe, high alcohol and falling apart because there isn't enough structure framing the weight. I know Luke's thing is all neutral oak but it doesn't work for Bordeaux varietals picked at almost 15% alcohol.

Delicious Malbec tasting. Medium bodied, light fruit notes, hint of a smoky finish.
