"Fruity with plenty of raspberries, strawberries, wafers and dried herbs follow through to a medium body with fine tannins. Supple and juicy with a fresh finish. Vegan. Drink now."

"A vibrant nose with ripe dark berries, as well as an earthy thread. The palate has such rich, fleshy fruit that sails on fine, velvety tannin. Impressive purity, too. Drink or hold."

"Brilliant violet color. High-pitched black raspberry, floral and baking spice aromas, with a subtle smoky quality. Lively and focused on the palate, offering appealingly sweet red/dark berry flavors that pick up a touch of cola with air. Closes gently sweet and long, with even tannins and nervy mineral cut. (fermented in stainless steel tanks and aged for four months in new and used French oak barrels)"

"Deep, lurid ruby. A perfumed, smoke-accented bouquet evokes fresh cherry, cassis and licorice, along with a building floral overtone. Lively and expansive on the palate, offering intense dark fruit and violet pastille flavors that are lifted by a core of juicy acidity. Youthfully taut tannins add shape to a very long, sweet finish that leaves smoky mineral and floral notes behind. (aged for a year in new and used French oak barrels)"

"Bright purple. Spice-tinged dark fruit liqueur and floral aromas are complemented by peppery spices and licorice flourishes. Sweet, seamless and broad in the mouth, offering juicy black raspberry, cherry-cola and allspice flavors that deepen slowly on the back half. Blends richness and vivacity and finishes long and appealingly sweet, with sneaky tannins that fold nicely into the wine's sappy dark fruit. (raised in new and used French oak barrels)"
Wine Spectator, Nov/2017

"This solid red has a dense texture, supported by firm tannins and fresh acidity. Plum and currant flavors mingle with mountain herb, loamy earth and smoky notes. A bit rustic, but balanced. Mazuelo, Syrah and Garnacha. Drink now through 2025. 6,500 cases made."

"A lovely Montsant with red-fruit, floral and soft-spice character. Medium body and a medium level of soft tannins. Delicate and clean. Drink now."

"(fermented in stainless steel tanks and aged for a year in new and used French oak barrels) Opaque ruby. Ripe black and blue fruit scents carry smoky mineral and licorice nuances and a subtle touch of violet. Sappy and seamless in texture, offering sweet boysenberry and floral pastille flavors and a jolt of enlivening spiciness. Finishes silky, energetic and quite long, with lingering florality and sneaky tannic grip."
