Wine Review: This Malbec based blend will appeal to readers who prefer Old World wines like those from Chianti Classico. It is very dark purple in color and opens with a light black cherry bouquet with a hint of black pepper. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, well balanced, soft, and easy drinking. The flavor profile is an oak infused cherry and a touch of menthol. The finish is dry and very nicely extended. The panel thought this wine would be perfect with beef bourguignon or beef stew. Enjoy - KWGTP

Winemaker Notes: Aromas of red cherries and raspberries are infused with mocha and spice hints that give up the secret for what's about to come. Your first sip washes broadly across your palate like a flood of sweet, fresh fruit, and the viscous mouthfeel keeps the flavors lingering for a while. The hints of baking spice and some oak keep the fruit flavors fresh and lively. Great all by itself or with all your favorite red wine foods like burgers, ribs, lamb chops, and even pizza.
