Purple/black color; spice box, lavender, black cherry aromas and flavors; dense and layered.

Bold Malbec with aromas of berry liqueur, cassis and black cherry. The palate is fresh in feel, with some edginess and snappy acids. Tastes full of berry fruit, creamy oak and vanilla, while the finish is round, lengthy and big. A little oaky and forced, but nice as Malbec goes. ——M.S.(5/1/2011)—— 87
