(a 60/40 blend; just 10% new oak): Bright, full, deep ruby. Aromas of blackberry, licorice, violet, minerals and toasted marshmallow show an exotic liqueur-like quality. A penetrating, youthfully tight bomb of dark fruits, with black cherry, blackberry, cassis and boysenberry flavors framed by strong acidity. This very firmly structured wine is almost astringent today and should be cellared for at least a couple years. Serious wine for the price.

After savoring two more bottles I can officially say this wine is even better the second day. Just enough air with the cork in tight to add more depth to the flavors, a little more seamless integration, I believe. Still great right out of the bottle but if you have 2, 4 or more hours to decant, I most definitely would. You'll be rewarded nicely.
Seductive, indeed.

Truer words were never spoken by the Wine Advocate. This malbec/syrah blend is smooth, seductive and rich with velvety tannins bringing up the rear. I was going to give this 4 stars but a bottle went down wayyy too easy just sitting on the porch this evening. I'm glad I have a case. This wine would be seductive at twice this price.
