Tasting Notes
“This wine showcases a deep violet hue and is balanced with well-structured flavors of raspberry, dark plum, and currant, all complemented by subtle savory nuances. The finish is elegant, velvety, and long, with hints of minerality and smoke. The oak is well-integrated, and the tannins are fine and delicate. Best paired with beef, pork, game meats, or dishes with creamy sauces.” The importer
93 rating James Suckling
“A smoky blend of raspberries and blueberries complemented by dried licorice, tar, sweet spices, and praline. This medium-bodied red wine is compact and structured, with silky tannins that integrate harmoniously with the fruit. It’s a vibrant Malbec that finishes with a burst of berry flavor. Vegan-friendly. Drink now or cellar for later.” by James Suckling
