Sipping Fine Wine

Deep Ruby with aromas of fresh blue and black fruits, spice and sweet oak, aged for about 12 months in oak. On the palate flavors of blueberry and blackberry with herb pepper spice and toasty notes. Fine rustic tannins, medium+ finish ending with fruit, cacao and sweet spice.

Bright, fruit-forward + a little zing and champagne-esque bubble that lingers. Smooth and light - great for apps, light fare, or just to sip. Definite summer red.

Rich and full but I wish it was a little more layered. Texture is awesome though -- great balance.

Vino de capa alta, con una nariz franca frutos rojos y frutos secos. En boca de entrada un poco violenta pero con un final rico, goloso y equilibrado.
