A rich red, with ripe flavors of linzer torte, plum pudding and fig paste flavors by layers of mesquite, olive paste and grilled herbs. Grippy tannins add weight to the long, vibrant finish. Drink now through 2013.

Smoky but also sort of salinic on the nose, with pumped-up berry and black currant aromas. The palate is chewy and a bit heavy, with dark berry, cassis and peppery flavors. Heavy, sultry and black on the finish, with a lasting syrupy sweetness. Should be appealing to most Malbec fans.
