VEGAN FRIENDLY!

Intense and brilliant color, with violet reflections. The nose is perceived typicality of Malbec ripe red fruit and floral aromas. The palate entry denotes a full, soft and lush with sweet tannins and very present, has a final round with notes of cherries, sour cherries and blackberries.

Awards, Reviews, And Other Notes:

90 pts James Suckling
Aromas of blackberries and hints of dark-chocolate follow through to a medium body, firm tannins and a fresh finish. Drink now.

89 pts Wine Spectator
Minerally, with richness to the dried berry, cherry and plum pudding flavors that are well-cut. Floral and black licorice notes fill the finish. Drink now through 2021. 3,000 cases made.
