45% Malbec · 35% Merlot · 18% Cabernet Franc · 2% Petit Verdot
Appearance:
Deep ruby with vibrant purple tones, reflecting the Malbec-driven core.
Aromas:
Expressive and aromatic, opening with black cherry, ripe plum, and blueberry, followed by lifted notes of violet, fresh herbs, and a hint of cocoa. Subtle undertones of cedar and sweet spice add complexity.
Palate:
Medium to full-bodied with a smooth, supple entry. Malbec provides rich color and dark fruit character, Merlot adds roundness and plush texture, while Cabernet Franc contributes aromatic lift and savory nuance. A small amount of Petit Verdot enhances structure and depth. Flavors of blackberry, red currant, and dark chocolate are balanced by bright acidity.
Structure:
Polished tannins and well-integrated oak create a harmonious, approachable mouthfeel with enough backbone for short-term aging.
Finish:
Clean and lingering, with notes of dark fruit, vanilla, and a touch of herbal spice.
Drink Window:
Enjoy now with a brief decant or cellar for 3–6 years.
Pairing Suggestions:
Grilled tri-tip, herb-roasted pork, lamb burgers, or mushroom-forward dishes.
