In a word “Elegant,” 100% organically farmed Tempranillo from village of Laguardia, aged in barrels for nine months limiting the oak influence. Deep Ruby with aromas of dark berry fruit and subtle light spice. Palate, clean and fresh fruit flavors of cherry and sweet blackberry, very smooth with super fine velvet tannins. Long finish, complex ending bringing everything together. Outstanding about 1000 cases made. Don’t hesitate if you see a bottle.

Inky dark in color. The nose is crushed cranberry, tobacco leaf, dark cherry, rosemary, sage, and thyme with a hint of barnyard funk. The palate is dark cherry, cinnamon, clove, American oak, black pepper, and bitters. Medium plus tannins, high alcohol, and high acid. A big, masculine, spicy wine that should match well with cured jamon, rich sausages, lamb, and gamey red meats.
