A blend of 90% Tempranillo & 10% Graciano, deep Ruby with aromas of berry fruit, oak and spice, aged for 12 months in American oak. On the palate flavors of black cherry and plum flavors with smoky pepper spice and espresso notes, medium+ acidity and oak tones. Big rustic tannins, medium finish ending with sweet smoky notes. Ok, better than past vintages. Tasted a few times, needs more time in the bottle.

Dark red with berry fruit and spice aromas. On the palate tart cherry and plum flavors with smoky pepper spice, sharp acidity and oak notes. Tannins are a bit harsh and rustic, medium finish ending with smoky notes.
