Vibrant varietal aromatics flood the nose on this pretty, yet powerful Malbec, with raspberry and blackberry balanced by savory anise, mint and meaty tones and bright pepper. The palate keeps those elements intact, with the peppery character taking center stage in the log finish. It seems tailor made for a traditional Argentine parilla platter. Contains 4% Cabernet Sauvignon.
