2015. This is a wine for the geek and non-geek alike. A blend of brancellao, caiño, and ferrol (go ahead, look them up. I’ll wait) it offers sour cherry flavors and a hint of fresh herbs wrapped up in a blanket of minerality and crisp acids that are just irresistible. Juicy with light yet puckering tannins. A fun treat to be sure. Great tonight with grilled tri tip. Only 12% abv. $19. (The number score is an error in that I rarely give them. I fat fingered something and now I have to leave a score.)

Not nearly as vivacious this time around. Might be in a dull stage. More cranberry and violet. Still seductive texturally, but not as aromatic or explosive. Some maraschino cherry in the byke.

Loved this wine. Decant for 30 minutes. “ Energy, energy, energy! Crunchy electric red fruit on the power is kept in line by an ever present dose of tart juicy acidity and classic mineral tang.” - Ian Cauble from SommSelect
