The 2010 is an old-school, black-fruited, spicy blend of the three varieties. Look for rich black cherry fruit with underbrush notes like bay leaf, and leather.

The blend is Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Malbec, and the wine shows elements of all three varieties. They range from Cab’s blackberry and cassis flavors and Syrah’s peppery meatiness to the firm tannins of Malbec. The result is a lusty, delicious and somewhat rustic wine of great versatility at the table.

An elegant and unique mouth-filling blend with incredible muscularity and longevity, this wine has a profuse nose with intense fruit, black cherry, roasted coffee and black pepper, Superbly balanced with sinewy fruit tannins and a lingering finish.

Ready to drink now, this is a youthful red wine that pairs beautifully with any flame-broiled or barbequed meat or game.
