Great wine with stacks of black fruit, liquorice and vanilla flavours. Well balanced, deep and rich with good tannic structure and lengthy, elegant finish.

Big, muscular, dense, sturdy. Violets and currants wrapped in rich oak, with a minute-long finish. Pair with something big: chili, wood-grilled chops. Plenty of structure left to maintain this over the next 3-5 years.

In its price category, this is my one of my favorite Malbecs: stunning wet violet up front, a dark fruit burn on the finish, beautiful concentration & balance in between. I'd make this my house red, but, frankly? It deserves a nicer house.

Primo Old World Bordeaux style with a modern, New World twist. Hints of chocolate, leather, tobacco, dark fruits. It has definite potential to age well. Nice structure, active tannins, sturdy acidic backbone. Let this wine settle and integrate for a few years. 90+.

We love this wine. Velvety smooth with a hint of tannins to remind you that it is indeed a good red wine.
