This Malbec base blend has striking deep ruby color with a light magenta lip. The nose is sharp with cassis and currant. On the front palate you are greeted with supple black currant that gives way to a mix of plum and cherries. You will also notice a Cabernet Sauvignon- like structure with the softness and fruit of a great merlot. As the wine finishes the plum gives way to cassis and cherry with tannins that are noticeable but not in the way.
