    Big, blocky black-fruit aromas are reduced and potent. This is quite chunky and extracted in feel, with jammy gritty blackberry and plum flavors that are mildly herbal and simmer with heat and heft on the finish.

    Spunky, youthful aromas of wild berry and currant are aggressive but fresh in style. This is a juicy, forward, bright Malbec with boysenberry flavors followed by a short wave of bitter chocolate and toast. It finishes in the same style.

    This opens with a blast of funky, jumpy wild berry. The palate feels fresh, with a lot of fruit, acid and extract. It tastes saturated, big and grapy, with herb-influenced wild-berry and animal notes.
