Tasting Notes
45% Malbec | 30% Cab Franc | 15% Cab Sauv | 10% Petit Verdot | 14.3% ABV — The crown jewel of LaChona. From Altamira at 1,350 meters, aged 18 months in French oak. Ruby red and deeply intense — ripe plum, red capsicum, nutmeg, black pepper, and warm cinnamon. Commanding structure with firm, round tannins and a long, complex finish. Built to age 15-20 years. Hand-harvested.
