As Bold as you'd expect from a Baja Tempranillo Blend. A real wow factor on the bouquet of Leather, Plum and Black Pepper. Deep Red-Black colour. Sour Cherry and Strawberry -- perhaps a little too sour with a slight bitter note. Big Complex flavour that pulls up leather and earth to round out a nice complex structure up front but fades rather fast on the palate ending less full bodied and slightly astringent. A little hot but with the complexity to handle. Tannins are bold but mostly integrated.
