The wine’s nose brings dark fruit layered with black olive and bell pepper. Its palate is just as savory, with some earthy blackberry in the balance.

The red Txakoli wine was great with the artichokes a la plancha - salty, caramelized exterior with a tender inner.

First red Txakolina for me. Probably should have decanted. Heavier and more full bodied than I expected. Very Cab Franc like.
