13.5% Blend of Bonarda, Syrah, and Cabernet. Not bad. But they state spice and licorice tastes, which may be the weird taste at the end. I do taste a fruity taste of what they claim is black cherry. Would suggest eating with real food, like steak or pasta, instead of Totino's pizza rolls.

Best after breathing or second day. Dark jammy fruit, with delicious spicy and heat in the mouth. Big and bold and doesn't apologize. Get again!

Dark ruby in color with a purplish rim.
Great nose of dark fruits and blackberries, black currants, plums, bell pepper, cherries, oak, vanilla, red flowers, licorice, earth, spices, peppercorn, smoke, chocolates and metals.
Medium plus in body and soft, with medium acidity and nice legs.
Dry on the palate with blackberries, black currants, plums, cherries, chocolates, smoke, licorice oak vanilla vegetables, earth, bitter almonds, spices, asparagus and peppercorn.
Medium finish with fine grained tannins and raspberries.
An enjoyable red blend from Argentina. Nicely balanced with a soft mouthfeel.
Good right out of the bottle with lots of earthy notes. Easy drinking with a nice bite. Not simple, but not very complex either.
Got earthier as it opened up, but became bitter after 2 hours.
Will be better in a couple of years.
I paired it with a cheese plate, crackers and nuts.
A blend of 61% Malbec, 16% Bonarda, 13% Syrah and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon.
13.5% alcohol by volume.

Nice density in the glass, with natural hues. Subtle leather on the nose. On the pallet, black fruit balanced with acidity, followed with heavy tannin. Great for a meal.

This is a really good Malbec based red blend with soft tannins and a great finish.
