A thoroughly likeable red wine with a big personality, this Malbec has a generous, mouth-filling texture. There is no oak influence in “Purple” so it’s all about the fruit, including red and black berries, distinctive dried orange peel, plus a hint of licorice. Made from estate grown grapes, it is a supple wine, with silky tannins and a notably dry finish.
