Rupestre Blend 2017
Award-winning Blend
“Deep nose with sweet, ripe black and blue fruit, violets and concrete, as well as hints of wet stones and rusty-nail character. Full-bodied and ripe, but still fresh with fine, black spices. Very solid yet polished tannins are finely ground into crushed blueberries on the palate. Long and fleshy with good fluidity. A blend of malbec, merlot, and tannat. Drink or hold.” James Suckling 93 points
