Coffee toffee, mocha with raspberries. Smooth supple tannins, high acid is balanced by a touch of RS. Full bodied. Wish I had some lamb right now.

Nice malbec/cab/merlot blend- big and rich with as much depth as you'd expect from a quality napa cab/blend. Black plum, leather, blackberry and currant. Ripe mouth coating palate, cocoa and a bit of roasted red pepper. Finishes a little hot but the chocolatey tannins carry on.

Nice berry/prune aroma. Fruit is tempered by the tannic finish. Doesn't linger on the palette.

This blend was a perfect pair with a chimichurri steak and grilled veggies. Deep flavorful with a hint of rich fruits.

Fantastic red from Argentina. Going to Costco tomorrow to pick up a case of two.

LOVE. Really heavy wine, and not sweet at all. Perfect first bottle of wine to start the night. Would def buy again.

Over ripe and raisiny. Very plush and soft. Thick and full and kinda dull.
