Palate: The palate is typically full-bodied and generous, showcasing the juicy dark fruit of both varieties. The Malbec contributes a soft, velvety texture, while the Shiraz adds structure and a touch of spice. Well-integrated tannins provide a smooth mouthfeel.
Finish: The finish is usually long and satisfying, echoing the dark fruit and subtle spice notes with a pleasant warmth
