Cabernet Sauvignon contributes cassis-driven intensity and aging potential, while Malbec adds layers of plum and violet along with a more approachable mid-palate texture. The result is a wine that achieves more complexity and depth than either varietal typically delivers on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dark plum and blackberry lead, followed by hints of violet and cassis.
