The Laborum wines begin with the 2005 Laborum Malbec (60%)-Cabernet Sauvignon (40%) which spent 12 months in new French and American oak. Purple-colored, it exhibits a nose of cedar, smoke, pencil lead, black cherry and blackberry. Full-bodied on the palate, it has plenty of savory black fruits, lots of spice, and enough structure to evolve for 2-3 years. This flavorful effort will provide prime drinking from 2011 to 2018.
