Cherry cola, raspberries, leather, damp underbrush, dark rose petals. Light body with a heavy soul.

This wine is going down way too easily. Word of advice: give it some air. After about 45 minutes the nose increased drastically and earth and leather penetrated the palate.

The platonic ideal of rioja joven. Except, well, it's from Napa. And I've never had a rioja with such purity.

A tremendous small production Tempranillo from Amador County. California fruit meets Rioja leather with a wonderful result. Find this. And buy more than I did.

Awesome with food. Love it's pure red fruit and mineral/Quartz undertone. Unique expression of Tempranillo.
