100% Tempranillo, 12 mos Amer & FR oak, 6 mos botttle. tannins are super soft, tertiary aromatics starting to show. Nice for the price. Easy on it's own.

Ripe cherries, red fruit with some age, figs, mild spice, a little bit air leather, dill, and tabaco. not too heavy, medium to full body, a balance red, medium tannins, medium plus acid.

Subtle black fruits (blueberries and blackberries) and warm leather nose, smooth on the palate but with nice acid/tannins making it slightly dry, warm baking spices, tobacco, vanilla). Not overpowering in any way. Sooooo yummy.

Full bodied with some definite tones of oak and smoke at the end. Lingers nice@and smooth though. as you drink the wine tends to balance out naturally.

Little bit stinky on the nose, amazing flavor and finish - light bodied.
