Massive red. Chewy tannins, dry, big blackberry, bright finish. The only thing that would improve this moment would be a roasted duck.

Massive fruit. Dark cedar. Toasted oak. A bit of earthy undertones. Gorgeous wine. Smoky elegant with a super long finish. I love the Quixote wines!!

Wow, this is better than good, exceptional as a mater of fact. Blackberry, blackcherry, chocolate, hints of dried plum and fig, subtle smoke and spice. This is instantly plush and velvety, lots of fruit, full on the palate with balanced acidity, round tannins, and an intense and enduring finish. Gorgeous. Absolutely gorgeous.
