Punchy, mildly herbaceous aromas of olive, herbs, tobacco and plum are classic Chilean scents. This cool-vintage Malbec is lively and a bit raw on the palate. Savory, roasted, oaky flavors of minty blackberry and plum finish dry, hot, peppery and ultimately a touch salty.

Broad, ripe berry aromas are dark and full on the nose. The palate is lively, with a shot of bracing acidity. Flavors of dark fruit, grilled meat, herb and salt finish briny, with a final wave of hard tannins. Drink through 2016.
