Nice dark fruit color almost like a petit Syrah. Leaning more to mineral flavors with subdued fruit...overall satisfying drop. Will stand up to grilled foods especially lamb or steak. — 9 years ago

Needs a bit of time to open up. Nice leather aroma w/ hint of vanilla cinnamon. Some nice bright berry flavors on the attack nicely balanced with a rim of moderate tannins. Maybe a bit passed its peak. — 9 years ago

Blackberry leathery tobacco flavors framed by nice tannins. Wonderful garnet color. This will hold up to a grilled steak. Tres picos always a consistent drop and a reasonable price.
