Puga’s personal project – as a professed Burgundy lover, you can see and taste the influence. Malbec with 15% each of Cabernet Franc and Merlot. It’s lovely and elegant, with blackberry, floral and smoke notes. Fantastically juicy fruit with fresh acidity that makes the wine. Well-integrated oak with a long and interesting finish. Needs time to open up; decant. Drink 2020-2026 Alc 14.1%
