Velvety rich in texture, this full-flavored Malbec ripples with concentrated blackberry and dark cherry fruit balanced with poised acidity and fine tannins. There's a dusting of purple fruit, tobacco and spice toward the midpalate, mingling with harmonious notes of espresso, coconut shavings and currants that roll through the long finish.
