TASTING NOTES
A blend of Malbec – to enhance elegance and length – and some major red varieties associated with vineyards in close proximity to the Mediterranean – Malbec, Mourvedere, Syrah, Petit Verdot, Sangiovese, Zinfandel and Viognier. Spicy, floral, potpourri and dark chocolate. A refreshing different blend. The finish is silky due to the addition of Viognier. These cultivars all have completely different characters but all add something special to the blend.
