  A very refined, creamy wine, showing blackberries and blueberries with chocolate and light hazelnut notes. Medium to full body. The fine tannins are polished and creamy and the beautiful, reserved finish goes on for a really long time. Wow! Best ever, because of its length and beauty. One for the palate or the cellar.

  Remarkable intensity of black fruit, spice and mocha, this elegant, single-vineyard Malbec-based blend by noted Bordeaux-based consultant Michel Rolland showcases integrated tannins, a round texture and persistent freshness. High-elevation vineyards (more than 1,100m), and notable diurnal temperature swings add to the concentration, aromatic lift and lively acidity. *Decanter's selection of top K&L Wines to try*

  This has to be the best Bordeaux blend in the store. It is rich, almost full bodied and very inviting. The nose is polished and restrained Argentina; bright fruits and berries, subtle creamy sweet oak spice and a gentle floral lift. The palate feels way more expensive than $15! The delicious Malbec fruit is backed by the structure from the Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, all you need is a little to feel the soft but present tannins. The mid-palate benefits from the Syrah and the Merlot and it is framed with the subtle use of oak. You can taste and feel Michel Rolland touch with this wine, and you can purchase a case of this for what one of his other bottlings might cost and have way more fun drinking it!

  What isn't there to love about a $15 red blend? On that merit alone this is a no brainer, the big bonus is how delicious this is! The nose is all about berry and floral notes! Blackberry, blueberry, cassis and potpourri just out with a backbone of creamy oak. Underneath that are notes of hazelnut and baking spice. The palate is rich, round, and full of those berry notes with an underpinning of wet tea and plum skin. This has no right to be this delicious and I'm thrilled we have it to share with the world!

  Better than pretty much anything we've ever sold in its price range and style. Rich, straddling the line between medium and full bodied. Solidly framed by tannins that belong in more expensive wine. There's almost no vegetal edge that you find in most South American Blends, which could be attributed to the nice Syrah inclusion that wraps the savory edges towards a meatier, gamey note. Pretty darn Good.
