Wine Review: This deep purple colored Malbec opens with a ripe black cherry and blueberry bouquet. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, balanced and very smooth. The flavor profile is ripe boysenberry and red plum blend with notes of cinnamon and red cherry. We also detected hints of mocha and fine minerality. The finish is dry, and its fine tannins stick around for quite a while. The Panel would pair this Malbec with New York strip steak. Enjoy – KWGTP

Winemaker Notes: Deep purple hues and attractive magenta highlights. On the nose, there are black fruit aromas such as ripe plum, spices, vanilla, dark chocolate and smoke from its oak aging. On the palate, it is perceived as sweet, due to its velvety, yet strong tannins, which will permit the wine to continue aging into the next decade. Particular Malbec is a complex and harmonious wine of good acidity, great structure, and volume. It has a persistent finish, and aging potential of up to 15 years.
