Monday, November 30, 2015 - Monday night Blinds at Home (Home (Noe st)): Medium minus ruby to a garnet rim.
Beautiful and savory nose of dill pickle chips!, dusty leather, dried cranberries. Rich, ripe, and compelling. Estery.
In the mouth, vibrant and yet elegant with age and softened by oxidation. There's fruit, but seen through dusty stained-glass. A bit dusty fruit.
Medium bodied.
Elevated alcohol - 14%(correct)
Elevated acid.
Medium tannins - softened and tissue-paper like.

It’s produced from a blend of 89% Tempranillo and 11% Mazuelo
The Tempranillo ages in American oak barrels and the Mazuelo in French ones, both for a period of 30 months
