    100% Tempranillo made from 15+ year old vines, aged for two years in American oak barrels. Dark cranberry red in color, with medium intensity. Subtle mineral and spice notes dusting a rich blanket of black cherries, black raspberries and bitter chocolate. Nice mouthfeel with good acidity and well integrated fruit and wood. On the palate, the wine is delicate and soft with elegant flavors of black pepper, slate and dark berries. 4/5

    Deep red inky cherry color to this wine. The nose is wonderful with graphite and cherry notes the first to hit followed by raspberry notes, and woody, chocolate/cinnamon component. Very Nice wine that in the mouth is full of fine and smooth tannins with a nicely balanced acidity. Chocolate, and cherry and the predominant flavors with a slight edge of black pepper at the end. 4/5
