This 100% hand harvested Malbec is from a single vineyard in the Chacayes sub-region of the Uco Valley. The nose is bright with notes of vanilla, baking spices, black berries, and blueberry pie. The wine is smooth as velvet with cassis, plum, and baked blueberries coating the mouth with rich soft fruit. Hints of clove, sage, and cinnamon lead to a long and satisfying finish.
