Ruby to purple in color, this malbec has a nose of black fruit including blackberry, blueberry, red cherry and a hint of red plum and clove baking spice.

On the palate the wine is smooth with medium-plus acidity and medium tannin kicking in towards the 70% point of the taste.

Composed of 100% malbec, this wine was aged for 12 months in French oak.
