  Malbec from the Languedoc. A nice change from higher alcohol, ripe, fruit forward Malbec common these days.
  Night harvested, 4 day cold soak, aged 4 months in barrel. 13% alc.
  
  Purple, plum red color, not as dark or extracted as some of the inky purple Malbec commonly seen.
  Notes of currant, violets, spice, and a hint of vanilla on the nose.
  Enjoyable red and black fruits on the palate, not overpowering, with good structure also not dominating, balanced.
  Easy drinking.
  
  A good value for the price, and every day drinking wine.
