I’m a fan of the forward savory qualities in this glass. Meaty, nicely integrated pepper and spice join a mix of black cherry and blackberry fruit, riding supple structure and finishing with a bright burst of integrated flavor. Designed for the Argentine diet — beef eight ways. Interesting to see no smaller appellation listed, which makes me want to know who blended everything together.
