This is a bold and rich wine (60% Malbec and 40% Syrah) from Argentina’s Mendoza region. Its deep purple color portends the richness to come. The nose offers aromas of ripe blackberry, black cherry and blackcurrant fruit backed by hints of coffee, mint, vanilla and black pepper. The flavors are full and smooth, with the luscious black fruits enhanced by roasted coffee, cocoa, vanilla and black pepper tones. This is a full flavored red that will please Cabernet lovers as well as Malbec and Syrah fans.
