Medium to full-bodied with soft, friendly tannins.
The finish is long and persistent, with lingering dark fruit, spice and a smooth, velvety mouthfeel.

A classic Mendoza Malbec—rich, expressive and approachable.
Combines plush fruit, floral lift and subtle oak with a smooth, polished structure and excellent drinkability.
