#60 Wine Enthusiast Top 100 of 2018                                                                                                                      100% Oak Barrel aged for 16 months in new French oak. Bottled 12months before release.Blend: 40% Malbec, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% MerlotA very intense nose of blackberries, mulberries, violet extract, charcuterie, Indian spices and really flamboyant licorice. Full body, lots of juicy, grainy tannins, tangy acidity, tons of dark plum fruit and a long, chewy finish. With a little less wood and more polish, this would have scored even higher. A blend of malbec, merlot and cabernet sauvignon. Drink in 2022.
