Dark fruit but still fresh and juicy this assumed malbec dominated wine is balanced and smooth. An enticing mix of graphite, concentrated blueberry compote, mild smoke and tobacco with some white pepper and cassis. 

Floral and spice aromas pull you in and fold over to the palate, adding juicy boysenberry and blueberry pastry notes at the core. The flavors fan out from a push of fresh acidity, with savory olive and five-spice details weaving in, ending with bold tannins and nice length.
