2020 Matador Malbec
The wine name: Matador!
Brightly dressed in their sequined suit with epaulets and stockings, the Matador is a central figure in the historical bullfighting ring. These days we prefer to visualize the Matador carefully combing the back of an Iberian bull out in the meadow while they listed to flamenco guitar playing in the distance.

Black cherry, ripe plum with a hint of cocoa and milk chocolate. .
