Organic, handpicked Malbec and Tannat grapes grown in Argentinian vineyards 2,900 feet above sea level. Fermented in stainless steel tanks and aged for 9 to 12 months in second-use French oak barrels, this wine is smooth and juicy, fruit-forward, full and layered

Crushed blackberries, violets, wild thyme, and a hint of wet stone. Fruit-forward with firm, well-integrated tannins that add structure, and a present acidity that gives our palates a lift. A long and spicy finish, with notes of dark chocolate, cracked pepper, and a touch of vanilla
