Earthy, tart and austere at first but gets quite a bit more generous with food and air. The high acid is definitely the hallmark of this wine from start to finish, but the fruit is pure and there’s a tremendous depth and soul to uncover that keeps you reaching for the bottle.

Smoky and meaty with black fruit and spice. Needs food. $32

Smells like cement but in a good way, so excellently dry

Delightfully rich and complex. A bit earthy and it does need room to breathe

Capa media baja, vino de pueblo, en nariz monte bajo, fruta roja. En boca buena entrada, paso muy bueno y final muy fino.

2018. Beautiful bottle and label. Dark red color. Initial tartness mellowed through the evening. We really enjoyed this wine with chips/salsa, seafood and even lamb barbacoa. I wanted to get a bottle for carry out!

Really not for me. Will check again on day two to see if air helps. Way too much acid.
