This purple-colored blend composed of malbec (65%), cabernet sauvignon (25%), and petit verdot (10%) is filled with well-integrated red and black fruit.

On the palate acidity and tannin balance the wine’s fruit components.

Mendel’s Unus red blend is refined like a classics professor.

This wine was aged for 16 months in new French oak barrels.
