PETITE FLEUR BLEND 2015 89 WA Dec16

The 2015 Petite Fleur Blend, cropped from a year that saw 421 liters of rain, certainly above average, is a combination of 57% Malbec with some 22% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Syrah and 10% Merlot. Around 70% of the volume matured in used barrels barrel for one year. The nose is very spicy with notes of ripe berries and an herbal twist but with good ripeness. The palate is medium to full-bodied with fine-grained tannins and good balance. It has a soft texture that makes it easy to drink. – L.G.
