Tasting notes
Saturated garnet. Expressive, smoke-accented aromas of ripe red and blue fruits, along with coconut and baking spice overtones. Sweet and energetic in the mouth, offering juicy, oak-tinged blueberry and cherry liqueur flavors that are sharpened by a peppery accent. Seamlessly melds richness and vivacity and finishes long and smooth, with lingering sweetness and supple tannins that lend gentle grip.

Lots of vanilla, chocolate-coated blackberries, cedar, tobacco and glazed dark cherries. Medium to full body, succulent tannins and a fruit-driven but tangy finish. Drink in 2021.
(raised for two years in new and used American oak barrels) Deep red. Lively, spice-accented red berry and dried cherry aromas, along with suggestions of potpourri, coconut and woodsmoke. Smooth and expansive on the palate, offering bitter cherry and raspberry flavors that pick up a zesty mineral quality with air. Candied rose and mocha notes linger on a smoke-tinged finish that shows very good clarity and fine-grained tannins.
100% Tempranillo. Healthy crimson. Good freshness on the nose. Fully evolved with very little tannin evident but some wild gamey fruit of interest on the palate. A whole. (JR)
