Jam bomb. Nice velvet tannins. Some funk. High alcohol 13.5?. Badass napa 6year old merlot. Could still age longer maybe.

Ripe cherry and blackberry balanced by solid tannin structure makes this a sleeper. Drinking well right now.

Maybe I'm a sucker for off the beaten path Malbec but this is delightful in a not great vintage.
