This is a Cabernet/Syrah blend from a winery that claims to be the oldest in the Americas, tracing it’s lineage to 1593. The nose is quite interesting, reminding me of a hot desert with strong impressions of a thyme and mustard crusted pork loin. I smell cactus, pepper, mustard with hints of lavender and lots of cooked meat. The palate is similar on a dry backbone with spiced fruit and black pepper. The finish hints of smokey tequila with medium acid and lingering tannins. A light bodied adventure in Mexican terroir.
