This bottling gets at Malbec’s chocolaty side in its aroma profile with rich dark chocolate over a core of black and red fruit. The fruit takes the lead on the palate, but the chocolate remains as a delightful accent. When you want something serious with the grilled fare you’re rustling up for dinner, you can’t go wrong here. A Platinum Award winner at the 2021 Monterey International Wine Competition, and also a Platinum Award winner at the 2021 Winemaker Challenge International Wine Competition.
