Top Notes For
Sipping Fine Wine

100% Tempranillo, aged for 24 months in French & American oak. Deep garnet with aromas of black fruits, smoke and sweet spices. On the palate tart berry fruit with vanilla and nutmeg layering on tobacco, smoke and dried tobacco leaves. Generous acidity on fine soft tannins, long finish ending with an earthy flair and a bit of oxidation. Nice value! Good to drink now should improve nicely over next few years. Tasting Sample.

Medium bodied with notes of tart cherry, pepper, baking spices, and leather. Paired well with short ribs.

Just right, nice smooth tannins, cherries and blackberries.

Reopening of my favorite restaurant. Great bold wine. Really great after a little airing out.
