Substantial, brooding, savoury.
Made by Laura Catena, of the Catena Zapata Malbec family, this substantial red offers notes of toasted spices, blackened cherries, blackberries, cracked pepper and saddle leather with violets and licorice undertones. It is brooding; flavours of bittersweet cocoa nibs and spice, espresso and black fruit dominate. It has a savoury finish.
Pair: roasted meats, decadent mushroom risotto or hard cheeses.
Pairs great with Gone Crackers Blue Cheese & Cracked Pepper
