Alluring aromas of berries, plum, earth and spice give way to a structured wine filled with boysenberry, plum and blackberry fruit flavours, with firm, elegant tannins. Multi-layered, ripe but not overdone, and long on the finish. Nicely focused and balanced. Grilled lamb chops would be a great match.
The winery’s name is Spanish for “black hands,” in honour of those that work in the vineyards and winery. Quite complex but very approachable, with penetrating dark cherry and plum fruit flavours, lots of earthiness, silky palate and a delicious finish. Dirt with fruit, in a good way.
Aromas and flavours of cherry, blackcurrant and spice with elegant, well-integrated tannins, firm structure, bright acidity and a beautiful freshness on the long, silky finish. A great food wine because of its fresh acidity. The perfect match for a nicely marbled Alberta rib-eye.
Shows classic lemon-citrus character with floral and tropical fruit in the background. Powerful citrus and butterscotch expression on the palate with heady but balanced alcohol and a long, well-integrated finish.
It’s not exactly rosé weather, but this one from Argentina is bold enough to enjoy year-round. It’s made from Malbec with a nose of raspberry and strawberry and some savoury notes. It’s big on taste on the palate with expressive and juicy red fruits. Perfect match for seafood salad.
Very deep plum-red. Nose of raspberries and spice, rosin and a hint of black pepper. Full-bodied, all the structural elements are present and effectively support the mouthful of blackberries and fruits. This needs another year or two to add complexity.
This 50-50 blend from a high-altitude sub-region of Mendoza delivers well-balanced fruit and savoury flavours, backed by bright acidity and ripe tannins. Abundant black plum, cassis, tobacco and toasted spice ensure satisfying complexity. Pairs well with hearty tomato-based stews.
