Red fruits. Raspberries. Quick to the tannin. Black tea. Let it relax in the decanter at least 2 hours, but no more than 3. Acacia. Dried meats. Smoke.

This Cabernet-dominant blend was medium bodied with a slight creaminess to the mouthfeel, nicely balanced by some bright acidic berry fruit. It is my favorite Sin Fronteras to date!

Berries and leather on the nose. Smooth and light mouthfeel with good acid and lower than expected tannin.

Very drinkable combo of Spanish varieties without the oak. Simple but enjoyable.

Enjoyed this blend with a homemade marinara & meatballs on 1st night, then pumped it & was even better 4 nights later with grilled Prime NY Strip !

May be better in another year or so. Right now lacked body. But nice flavor

What a tantalizingly delightful cacophony of flavors bundled into every sip. Pairs beautifully with a peanut butter and jelly tortilla roll.

It grew on me. Pairs well with olives. Initially it was buttery on the finish but that faded quickly. Middle of the road.
