This wine presents a beautiful garnet color. The rich full flavors of plum, blackberry, blueberry and tobacco dance on the palate, along with sensuous notes of vanilla, cedar and soft spice. Medium tannins make for a delicious lingering finish. Enjoy this lovely wine with a plate of Spanish tapas!

The vines were planted in 2000 with the 2005 being the first wine vintage. This high altitude tempranillo clone prefers cooler temperatures and our rocky soil.
De-stemmed grapes were fermented in a six ton open-top fermentor. Must was hand-punched three times daily. The wine was pressed until dry, then immediately placed in oak barrels for ML fermentation and 14 months of aging.
