transparent ruby colored. nose with funky volcanic rock, cracked pepper, and cherry raspberry fruit. light bodied with fresh acidity. cherry, raspberry, herbal, and just faintly medicinal in a pleasing way. a little white pepper shows leading into a dry fine tannic finish.

Raj Parr nailed it. Envinate single vineyard wines are 8 year wines. Open starting at 6 years, but wait 8 if you can. This is pleasent today..but heaven can wait..

Via Viticole: 80% Tío Luis and 20% La Habanera...this is the purest and most free example of Listan Negro yet. The majority of the blend did not see wood. There is an undeniable energy and pleasure factor provided by Tío Luis. La Habanera adds complexity, length and mid-palate depth. 2022-2040

Agree with previous comment, upon opening funky to the point of manure on the nose and flat on the palate. After two hours nose mellowed and wine opened to crunchy berries, black and green pepper. Medium tannins. Ended up quite enjoyable.

Needs some air to get going as at first it's a little reductive/funky on the nose and somewhat closed on the palate. After an hour or so of being open it wakes up and shows bright berry fruit along with some smoky and mineral notes.
