This deep-colored Malbec hits hard with cola and blackberry aromas. It's a muscular, oaky specimen on the palate, with noticeable tannins. Flavors of wood and toast are in the lead, followed by black fruits, clove and lemon rind. Drink now through 2016.

This is dark in color and leafy smelling, with aromas of forest floor and herbal black fruits. The mouthfeel delivers a hard belt of acidity and not much else, while flavors of oaky spice and tart berry fruits are adequate but unspecial.
