First impressions of this vibrant and fragrant import from Argentina include a powerful aroma of violets (characteristic of many Malbecs) that wafts up from the glass. In the mouth the wine is medium bodied, with juicy fruitiness, soft tannins and tasty little grace notes of dark berries, mint, and coffee.
