Monday, February 20, 2023 - Medium garnet color with enticing red fruit, balsamic, leather, sun-baked earth, licoric and baking spice aromas. On the palate, it's medium-bodied and harmonious with vibrant acidity and well integrated tannins. It shows ripe red and Morello cherry, raspberry, mocha and baking spice flavors with a very satisfying finish. 14.5% abv

Blend of 80% Tempranillo from 30 y.o. vines planted on predominately clay limestone soils, and 20% Garnacha planted on deep rocky soils at 500 m elevation in Rioja Oriental. The grapes were manually harvested. The Tempranillo and Garnacha were raised separately; the Tempranillo was raised for 36 months in 4y.o. American oak, and the Garnacha 30 months. The final blend was bottled in June 2020.

Pair with all kinds of meat, stews and aged hard cheeses. I also think this wine would pair well with seared pepper crusted Ahi tuna
