A wonderful medium-bodied varietal wine made of Cabernet Sauvignon grapes harvested from the almost-desert Valle de Guadalupe in Mexico. Initial nose is a cool-climate Cab's aroma--dominated by black and blue berries, black pepper, and tar, with hints of incense, leather, and a citrusy perfume. Aroma smells a tad acidic and has a bit of heat but on the palate, it's nothing of that sort. In the mouth, it's a medium plus-bodied wine with young but expressive texture, more red fruit than the aroma, sweet tobacco, dirt and a very refined balance.
