Vintage Description
Reviews

Aromas of blackberry, plum, and black cherry are layered with notes of cocoa, violet, and baking spice. The palate reveals rich dark fruit flavors supported by hints of mocha and subtle oak. Medium to full-bodied with smooth, well-integrated tannins, the wine shows both structure and approachability. Balanced acidity adds freshness and lift. The finish is long and polished with lingering dark fruit and spice.

A grape blend of Malbec, Petit Verdot & Cabernet Sauvignon.
