Winery review : Tasting notes
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful

This malbec has deep purple garnet color. Sweet jammy raspberry and blackberry, vanilla, and graphite aromas. A round entry leads to a dryish medium-bodied palate with sweet vanilla, tart blackberry, and toasty pepper spice flavors. Finishes with drying tannins, berry skins, and a dash of talc. Drink now through 2009
