Deep Ruby, aromas of sweet red and black fruits with pepper spice and oak. 4 grape blend from some of CVNE's best vineyards in the Rioja Alta (85% Tempranillo, rest Garnacha, Mazuelo & Graciano), aged in both French and American oak for 24 months. On the palate flavors of blackberry and currants with licorice, vanilla, tobacco & toasty oak tones. Soft full ripe tannins, wonderful balance, lively acidity on a long finish ending with an earthy mineral character. Very nice! — a month ago
100% Pugnitello. A grape I’ve never had before. Since I love Italian wine I wanted to try this recommendation from my favorite local wine place. I was a bit leery on the vintage but it turned out delicious. Licorice on the nose, tannic with some smokiness and dark fruit on the palate. — 5 months ago

Great flavor. Cherries fruit forward. Very little tannin. Pairs nicely with juicy buttery steak. Dark and full bodied, but young tasting. Not overpowering. Would order again! Good value at Ruth’s Chris. $82/bottle — a month ago

I got the sense this big beautiful #argentine #malbec blend was just beginning to develop after 6 years of bottle age with decades left to mature. Still delicious, layers of blue/purple fruit, dried herb and spice notes. — 5 months ago
