Maipu Valley, Argentina
50% Malbec, 25% Cabernet, 25% Petit Verdot
It's so hearty I described it as the beef stew of wine--it is ultimately
savory, with dark and herbal notes. Just a little bite of spice, acid,
and tannin to round the whole thing out. At the finish, it is smooth and
dark, with notes of dark currant. The vanilla and cooking spice comes
out and it turns into an easy and drinkable wine with time spent wisely.
