Ripe blackberry and black cherry, powerful without being heavy on the palate, tart black cherry, a little black pepper bite, and lingering gravelly tannins.

Nice! Reductive, but blew off and has great acid and red fruit. — 3 months ago
Let it breathe, and you’re rewarded with a berry forward wine, i find it more medium bodied vs full. Nice sipper, may want something bigger with beef — 4 months ago
Just 100 cases made of this single vineyard. Showing great character, depth and fine tannins. — a year ago
Aspirational label with all the raised embossed stuff and the gold on black. But light weight like it’s not supposed to be aged. Well I’m doing 2012 in 2021. Interesting mix (Temp, Granacha, & Cariñena). Dark-ish. Slightly ruby. Smells like mashed tart berries of some sort. Rhubarb. Rhubarb and strawberry crisp filling before it’s cooked. Also something vegetal and green. Like cut shoots on a spring willow. Flavors are nice. Balanced, biting and juyceyyy! Lots of kinds of cherries and berries and some minty, bright streak. Lingers long with well made berry jam notes. This is a nice blend right out of the gran Españ a playbook. So damn juuuiiicy! — 5 years ago
