Deep purple in color, with a dense, compact bouquet showing ripe blackberry, density and heat. Full-force on the palate, with drying tannins along with prune, blackberry, licorice and peppery flavors. Serious and tannic, with richness, extract and power.

A rich and thick style of Cabernet with leather, dried cheese, cedar, tobacco and minty berry aromas. Feels full and well built, with rich, sweet flavors of cola, creamy oak, fudge and blackberry. A bountiful wine with a candied, chocolaty finish.

The bouquet on this aggressive Malbec is a mix of olive and leather along with black fruits and asphalt. The palate is big but pinched by narrowing acidity. Flavors of blackberry come with heavy oak, and the finish is toasty and dense.

This Cab is hard-capped on the nose, with chocolate, vanilla and plastic-like aromas. In the mouth, it’s nervy and hints at astringency, while the flavor profile is led by lemony oak but also shows dark cherry and cassis. This is bold on the back side, with a resiny, oaky finish.
