like many cafayate reds of stature, this opens with funky murkiness, leather, animal notes and baked characteristics. the blend is 70% tannat with malbec and syrah, and overall it's full-bodied, snappy in the mouth, and good in terms of offering integrated plum, raspberry and spice flavors. shows a lot of heat and burn on the finish, however. a wine with individuality. drink now through 2012.
