From Kermit Lynch Wine Merchants: "This classic opens with a voluptuous aroma that gives and gives—it is striking because of its charm and floral notes. How many Châteauneufs can boast of those two traits?"

From the Producer: Smoked bacon, blackberry, white pepper, incense.

Santa Julia [+] represents their strong commitment to sustainability, the people and the land. This wine offers complexity in the nose with typical Malbec aromas of ripe fruits such as cherries and blackberries laced with licorice. Notes of vanilla, coffee and chocolate are also present. This Malbec is a full-bodied red wine with sweet tannins. Enjoy with braised meats, pan-seared pepper steaks and hearty beef stews.
