From the Producer
We strive for a La Consulta-terroir driven Malbec that is elegant with great depth. Very dark, but juicy and driven, with a mouthwatering streak of briar and anise that pushes the muscular core of raspberry, fig and boysenberry fruit. Graphite and black tea notes flash in the background. The finish is long and structured.
