Tasting Notes
The color is inky, almost black, yet the nose has a brightness that complements the dark fruit and violet florals of this classic cool climate Malbec from an outstanding vintage. The palate is full bodied with cassis and dark damson plum flavors, rich and complex. A big but not at all heavy wine of great harmony and well-integrated tannins that finishes with good tension and freshness.
Winemaking Notes

Destemmed, “wild” yeast fermented with a high portion of whole berries. 27 days total time on skins. Matured for 23 months in used Burgundian oak barrels and bottled without fining or filtration.
