(Lujan de Cuyo, Argentina blend of Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Petit Verdot.) Where old worlders and new worlders collide. Nose of raisinated plums & blackberries, burnt cedar, and toasted dark herbs & pepper dusted upon fresh black mulch over farmstead soil. On the palate, tobacco & bitter dark chocolate meld with balsamic-soaked black cherries & black raspberries amid rainforest underbrush. If not for hints of candied fruit, this could get pegged for a very ripe-year Bordeaux. Solid acidity and tannins, although the alcohol is a bit sharp. 92.
