TASTING NOTES: A Crisp & Balanced Red, Very Approachable and Elegant.
Flavors of roasted plum and dark chocolate with notes of blackberries. Good balance of flavor and power in this red blend. Long fruit-forward finish.
DESCRIPTION: A 50/50% blend of Malbec and Tannat that spent 8 months in French and American oak. The fairly intense nose features dark fruit and floral notes brought by the Tannat along with balsamic flavors. Concentrated on the tongue, the palate is firm with tightly packed tannins and a juicy freshness to balance things out. The alcohol keeps things lively.
