Winery Review: Organically and naturally grown and made, this wine allows the varietal and the terroir to stand out cleanly. It shows a nice cherry color with a violet shade because of its youth. Red berries and cherries on the nose. On the palate it is fresh, slightly astringent, and harmonious with a long finish.

My Review: The youth of this tempranillo is seen in its light ruby color. The nose has a wonderful bouquet of milk chocolate, plum, raspberry, and cherry. On the palate this wine has a warm full start, a juicy mid-palate with some spice, and finishes slightly dry.
