Tasting Notes and Food Pairing Suggestions

  • Flatbread pizzas topped with roasted figs, prosciutto, and fried sage leaves
  • Grilled lamb burgers with hummus and watercress
  • Smoky roasted eggplants stuffed with ground lamb, caramelized onions, and Italian parsley

An earthy mix of black mission fig, blueberry, and blackberry aromas lead into a fleshy, concentrated Malbec that features a refreshing stream of acidity, bright pomegranate and red currant flavors, and pliant, finely grained tannins. A great value bottling that majorly over-delivers on its price.
