From the Southwind Vineyard, this is a distinctive, generous Malbec, bursting with concentrated flavors of black and blue fruits and spice box complexity. A gutsy, intense wine likely to be the darkest red at any table. Cardamom and black pepper tones accent black plum and wild berry flavors. Stony mineral highlights suffuse the ripe, insistent fruit, with dense tannins that lend focus, length, and energy. A formidable Malbec that isn’t shy about announcing its presence.
