This is a nice Malbec blend.
After some opening time (an hour), fruity nose with blueberries, blackberries, figs, plums, herbs, black pepper and vanilla.

Full bodied and bold with nice legs.

Fruity on the palate , much more than on the nose. With blueberries, figs, cherries, peppercorn, cedar, oak, cloves and herbs.

Nice long finish with soft tannins, sour cherries and black pepper.

Very approachable red blend that most will like.
Malbec 64%, 20% Syrah and 16% Bonarda.

13.5% alcohol by volume.

Interesting new world red blend - a little sweet, some boldness & a sharp finish. Fruity throughout which adds a nice dimension of this glass. Ends overall with a slight punch at 13.5. -- UPDATE: by the second glass that finish is not agreeing with me. A little to "tangy" and some rough flaws now coming to light. Just not for me.
