TASTING NOTES:
The ample temperature gap between day and night allows good ripeness of bunches and intense fruit character where plum, cherry, vanilla and the sweetness of the wood are notoriously present. The well finished tannins, intense color and the long persistency in mouth are the pillars of the wines personality.

Red-ruby. Deep, sappy aromas of singed blackberry, black raspberry, currant, dark chocolate, mint and flowers; dominated today by its cabernet component. Then sweet dense and deeply fruity, with layered, very ripe flavors of candied dark berries nicely framed by ripe integrated acidity. Finishes with very fine, sweet tannins and terrific lingering fruit.
