A harmonious red that marries modern pomp with restraint and elegance. Full-bodied and lush, yet fresh and well-defined by sinewy tannins. Features flavors of pureed blackberry, licorice snap, herbed black olive and mocha that expand on the palate, with tarry smoke and loamy earth character. Best from 2023 through 2033. 800 cases made, 135 cases imported.

Deep nose with sweet dried violet, anise, blueberries, pine needles and a hint of black pepper and hot stones that follows through to a full-bodied palate. Lots of oak with a good amount of extraction, but it remains fresh and well-balanced with a long, spicy finish. Dense, chewy and quite concentrated. Excellent potential. 100% tempranillo. Drink from 2024.
