On the nose; violet perfumed cassis, black raspberries, raspberries, plum, grassy notes, dark chocolate, bit of herbaceous and great purple florals.

On the palate; the body is medium to full. The tannins are firm, meaty & chewy. Fruits are ripe; black raspberries, raspberries, plum, crushed dry rocks, loamy dry top soil, leather, some pepper, light spice, dry tobacco, grassy notes, fresh red & violets, nice acidity with a nice balanced finish.

Photos of; open top fermenters with Malbec in them, outside tasting lounge for a nice day like Sunday and their Estate vines with Andes in the background.

My favorite of the bunch tasting at the winery. More complexity throughout the palette and more subtle oak.
