Winery review:  Stout and dense from the beginning, with blackberry and violet aromas. Despite being a bold and dark Malbec, this is fresh and composed, with sweet blackberry and cassis flavors. Good on the finish, with candied fruit and caramel sweetness.

My review:  On the nose, this wine was had a welcoming, fruity aroma.  On the palate, it was balanced and full-bodied. The finish was clean.  I enjoyed this wine.

I tasted this on its own with no food.
