A high altitude Malbec with more density and structure than juiciness. Still young and a safe bet to hold for a couple more years at least.

This is the way Malbec should be. Good balance and body. Great fruit and complexity.

Big and burly Malbec. Very pure and convincing, meaty, bloody, dark fruit. Serve slightly chilled to keep the notes of alcoholic heat in check.
