Very very impressive wine at this point in its evolution. Elegant and bright cedar and cherry over a mineral core.

Este vino es una Co fermentacion de Tannat y Viognier. O sea ambos mostos fermentados juntos en El mismo tanque/barrica.. La nariz es un bofetón repasao..pero demasiada barrica nueva para mi gusto. Excelente fruta se puede apreciar la viognier..interesting

Sweet tannins, but wonderful acid that keeps you coming back to the glass.
