Another great score from Benchmark wines. I was lucky enough to get a more current vintage of this wine in February 2015. Happy to get this at a lesser price albeit still a nice wine!

New project of Doug Shafer and Elias Fernandez. Beautiful Malbec - full body, lots of character, still young, probably needs more time, but definitely age worthy! Coffee beans, mocha, milk chocolate covered cherry, vanilla, sandalwood. Layers of complexity! Needs time to open up. Velvety finish.

Bought this from Shafer upon release but is the first time I tried it. Although I still prefer the malbecs coming out of Argentina, this is still an excellent wine with several more years of life left.
