The result is 'Crocus Wines'; named for the wild flowers that grow in the region, which produces the spice saffron.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000; font-family: arial, sans-serif;\"\u003eThis Malbec opens with an expressive nose brimming with fresh black and red fruit aromas of gooseberry, strawberry, and blackcurrant.
