Dense on the nose, with a mix of black fruit aromas and mild herbs. The palate is properly acidic and elevated, with complex flavors of coconut, plum, berry, mocha, chocolate and spice. Quite oaky but the oak comes across well, i.e. friendly mocha and coffee. 64% Malbec with 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot and Tannat.

Big, fleshy and dark in color, with a bold, heavy nose of black fruits, baked richness and sweet characteristics. The palate is chunky and full, with blackberry, baked plum, fig and herbal flavors. A saturated, lusty style of Malbec that’s deep like cake and just about as sweet.

Smoky, earthy and ripe, with a hint of berry syrup to the bouquet. The feel is big but it maintains agility, and while the flavor profile shows herbal qualities, the raspberry and black cherry flavors are solid. Toasty and dark on the finish, with a lasting flavor of black licorice.

Raspberry and plum aromas bring a mild leafy, leathery accent. The palate is saturated and grippy, with sweet brown sugar, raisin and chocolate flavors. Solid, warm and tasty, with baked berry, weight and sweetness to the finish.
