  April 25, 2023 - This is a REALLY NICE red blend (47% Cabernet, 37% Malbec, 9% Petit Verdot and 7% Merlot). Full bodied and concentrated in flavor and texture. Each varietal provides so much supporting flavor and structure. The Malbec provides full lush red and blue fruit, the Cabernet provides restraint on the fruit and adds a nice tannin structure, the Petit Verdot adds some purple color and violet flavors and the Merlot likely adds some softness. Velvety mouthfeel with fine grained juicy then drying tannins on the finish, which is quite lengthy. Great to drink by itself but this wine really calls out to pair with a nice juicy steak. Drinking absolutely perfect now (a little sedimentation indicates some beneficial aging). Although I suspect this easily has another 4-5 years of life left, there’s no need to wait! Drink now and enjoy!
