Top Notes For
Sipping Fine Wine

Blend 52% Petit Verdot, 26% Malbec & 22% Cab Sauv, deep Ruby with aromas of red and black fruits with notes of black pepper. On the palate flavors of blackberry, black cherry and ripe plum with cacao, leather and pepper. Fine tannins, medium+ finish ending with cedar, vanilla and black fruits. Good value.

It was fine. For my tastes, nothing special about it. I think I paid $15 at Costco. Returned second bottle - too many others in $13-17 range I would rather buy. Wouldn’t turn down an offered glass, tho.

A complex blend of Petit Verdot (52 percent), Malbec, and Cabernet Sauv. Black cherry, sage. Nice with burgers. January 2022.
