Blended from the 6 sub regions, very different to rest of CO. Quite vibrant, quite ripe, 65% whole bunch but not too tannic, good balanced acidity. Good juicy red fruit, good elegance.

Delicious and very pretty! Floral, bright, cherry, you can taste the terroir, long lingering finish. Very low sulfer used, Unfined and unfiltered.

Spicy and smokey. Underripe raspberry not bad at all for the money! Nice acidity in this one.
