Nose

Fruit forward with earthy notes. Predominant aromas of black and red fruits such as plums, black cherries, blueberries, and blackberries complemented by notes of violets, aromatic herbs, thyme, and rosemary. Its balsamic hints define the character and complexity of high-altitude, cool-climate Malbecs.

Palate

Pleasant mouthfeel with a very tasty and refreshing mid-palate and vibrant acidity. Medium-bodied, with juicy tannins that provide strength and a long finish. Fruity and spicy aftertaste with earthy notes. A red that is true to its origin.

Growing Conditions
