WINEMAKER'S NOTE
"Round and fleshy, with enticing spice, blueberry, fig and boysenberry flavors backed by hints of fruitcake and melted licorice. Stays fresh and vivid on the finish, with a lingering mocha hint. Drink now through 2009. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 11,000 cases imported.

Expert Reviews

International Wine CellarBright ruby-red. Lively aromas of black raspberry, mocha, leather and licorice, lifted by a violet topnote. A juicy, food-friendly style, with a firm shape and a tight grain to its flavors of redcurrant, tobacco and fresh herbs. Nothing over the top or exotic about this malbec. Finishes with good length and a hint of menthol.
