Tasting

Latest rating for the 2020 vintage : 91/100 by Wine Enthusiast
«This blend of Malbec with 5% Merlot is made in a style that is easy and ready to drink relatively young. A fruity wine, it’s full of black-currant and plum flavors, with fresh acidity at the end. The wine is ready now.» — Roger Voss

Bottling

Slightly sulfited at bottling
