Wine Review: This medium ruby colored Tempranillo based wine opens with a cranberry and red currant bouquet with hints of violet, balsamic glaze and faint prune. On the palate, this wine is medium plus bodied with plus acidity and round edges. The flavor profile is a mild red plum, cherry and oak blend with gentle fine graphite throughout. We also detected some hints of pomegranate and dried herbs mixed in. The finish is dry and its dusty tannins build-up and stick around for a very long time. This wine benefits from some aeration. It would pair well steak fajitas and veal saltimbocca. Enjoy – Ken and Mark

Winemaker Notes: From selected fruit-forward lots, aged six months in used French and American oak. Juicy yet mineral with hints of tobacco, and a lingering fresh plum and cherry finish.
