WINEMAKER NOTES: “This wine is ruby-purple colored; notes of blackberry, plums and spice predominate the nose and flavors. The tannins give a soft, full mouth feel.” Larry Rocha, Winemaker

Review: In my humble opinion for what its worth. I found this wine to be dense and full bodied, mildly sour, a soft yet spicy Tinnin, with a dark fruit/rose finish. The acidity to me was that of a mild grapefruit tartness. A lot of bite in the front with a citrus, floral note at the end. Nice and sweet but tangy in the best possible way.


 For a Red, I found it nice and bold. A very excellent choice. Cant wait to uncork another bottle!
