Tasting Note
A blend of mainly Malbec with a dash of Merlot, Mission La Caminade displays aromas of black fruits, violets and earth. In the mouth, it's a textured wine that starts with a burst of juicy black cherry/berry fruit and then gains complexity from notes of baking spice and purple flowers, finishing with a lovely earthy element and a fine mineral streak. This is an honest, genuine, wine that shows just how refreshing and vibrant Malbec can be.
