A fantastic Summer cocktail wine, this Malbec-dominant blend was smooth drinking with a touch of peppery spice.

A smooth blend, the makeup is not disclosed but based on the description and my palate I would say mostly Merlot and Malbec with some other varietals in the mix. Medium bodied and spicy, it has dark plum and blackberry flavors, with a pleasant fruity finish.

Finished this bottle last night after using it in a stew. Not too bad, not that memorable either. Definitely can tell it's a blend but not sure I would get again.

Very fruit forward. . . From unscrewing the cap to the first sip. Slight tartness on the back end and overall very enjoyable.
