Garnet color. Initially very closed and somewhat reduced, this wine begs for decanting. After 20 minutes of air, the wine offers grassy aromatics anchored by black fruits and coffee. Green on the palate initially, too (green tomato, cut grass), it opens with time into flavors of tart black cherry, black currant, and blackberry brambles. The herbal note is persistent, almost insistent, but the wine offers a clean, juicy finish. Overall a reasonable gastronomy wine, and the most refreshing Malbec I've had in a long while. Give this one air, people.

Do you like berries? How about, all the berries. Tons of cherry and strawberry in both the taste and smell. Tiny bit earthy. Not overly complex but far from boring. Finish has nice tannins. Went well with steak.

Wonderful, medium to full bodied. Would recommend to meat and appetizers.

Deep purple color, somewhat reductive nose of black licorice and fig, medium full body showcases the mission fig notes and the body is balanced with chewy tannins that finish nice and dry.

Enticing sweet red fruit smells, tart, and hints of pomegranate. Full bodied wine, think and dark. Typical malbec flavors, sweeter than usual, though. Low acidity and only very slight spice. Easy to drink with Graham cracker-like finish.

Soft aromas but rich and intense dark fruit flavor. Perfect for pairing with lean cuts of beef or game and rich vegetables. Enjoyed with deer steak and grilled peppers.
