Despite the 14.5% alcohol and the intense blend of Malbec, Tannat and Cabernet Franc, this red is well balanced and retains a sense of freshness. Dark chocolate-infused fruits are lifted by typical Malbec violet notes. The tannins give structure to the richness, while the red-fruited acidity washes away any heaviness.
