Deep ruby in the glass, this wine has a bouquet of black currant and blackberry with a touch of green bell pepper. Flavors of cassis, Chambord, bittersweet chocolate, clove and roasted fennel bulb are set into a web of velvet tannins that dissolve into a drawn out finish with note of orange zest.

An upfront red, with appealing wild strawberry and cherry fruit flavors that are juicy and accessible, plus hints of violet, dried herbs and spice box. Leans more modest toward the lightly chewy finish. Tempranillo, Graciano, Mazuelo and Garnacha. Drink now. 24,500 cases made, 12,500 cases imported.
