Big, some smoke, minerality akin to a Cali Cab Sav.

Deep violet color. Blackberry and vanilla on the nose with hints of figs and violets. Very dense, concentrated, juicy fruit on the palate with good acidity and soft tannins. Sourced from a single vineyard at 4000 feet aged 24 months in new French oak. Terrific with a dry aged ribeye.

Smells like a Mounds Bar dipped in raspberry preserves. Good amount of oak and lengthy tannin.

Lovely expression of Malbec. Nice spicy tannins, supple finish. Gave it 3 hours to open up and it responded nicely.
