9.0

This wine contains fruit from 3 different vineyards; Madder Lake; Liberty Oaks; & Terra Alta. A blend of 90% Tempranillo and 10% Graciano, aged for 11 months in French oak (40% new), 615 cases! Deep crimson with berry and spice aromas. Flavors of red and black berry fruit with gentle sweet notes and vanilla spice. Fine soft tannins on a lingering finish, good balance ending with earthy oak tones. Nice! Tasting Sample.
