Appearance:
Medium ruby red with dark violet hues.
Aromas:
Inviting fruit elements of cherry and plum are joined by cocoa, tobacco, cilantro, freshly ground white pepper, and lilac, accentuated by integrated notes of vanilla and smoke.
Palate:
Broad entry, straightforward and open on the middle palate, with fresh acidity supporting its juicy mouthfeel and moderate to full tannins with a long, persistent finish. Underlying wood flavors resonate.
This reserve—style wine combines intense fruit flavors and herbaceous notes, with the barrel playing a supporting role. On the palate, the full, round structure complements the fruit characters initially perceived on the nose. This tannic, full—bodied Malbec can be cellared for up to six years.
Serving suggestions:
For a spectacular food and wine pairing, serve this Malbec with grilled lamb or braised rabbit. It will also complement stews, flavored cheeses, and grilled meats.
Serve at 64ºF (18ºC).
