The purple-colored 2007 Malpaso is a 100% Syrah cuvee aged for six months in 500-liter barrels. The slightly reticent bouquet offers up scorched earth, mineral, and blueberry muffin. Plush on the palate, it has plenty of succulent blue fruit, good balance, and a forward personality. Drink it over the next 6-8 years.
