WineDiva's Review

Supple, fresh, savoury.
From vineyards 1700+ MASL, this supple Malbec by the company Michel Torino, suggests blackberry and concord grape aromas, baking spice and violets, licorice and purple flowers on the nose. It has a round velvety entry and savoury flavours; dark chocolate, espresso, bay leaf, tobacco and spice. Good overall freshness and balance here.

Pairs great with Gone Crackers Parmesan & Rosemary

Recommended Pairings
Rich Meats , Barbeque, GONE CRACKERS
