Light and crisp - easy summer wine ... Pomegranates.

Sep 1st, 2016Cherry, Raspberry, and a subtle bite. Drinking this glass in the airport as I take the red eye to my grandmother's funeral. Though a sad occasion, for me every travel starts with a glass of vino and in any case, I firmly believe in celebrating life rather than mourning death. So, cheers to Grandma, a woman whose wit, feistiness, and, of course, grandmotherly love will be forever remembered.

Lovely wine. Well balanced and goes with a lot of different foods. Ready to drink now but good to keep on aging. Enjoyed the wine over a couple hours. Loved how it mellowed out over that time.

Apr 13th, 2015Delicious. Surprisingly approachable for a crianza. Only 36 in a restaurant. Buy it all day.

Dec 14th, 2013At first we were meh, but the flavour has changed so many times. This wine is a journey. The nose is so so, but the transformation of earthy, rich, cherry flavours are pretty fucking exciting. Be sure to eat meat.
