Expert Reviews

88 Points | International Wine Cellar , March/April 2013

(reportedly from 103-year-old vines; 70% new oak):  Bright medium ruby.  Slightly porty aromas of redcurrant, chocolate and exotic spices.  Supple and very ripe but not overly sweet, with redcurrant and mocha flavors lifted on the back end by pepper and herb nuances.  No shortage of brightness or flavor interest.  The chocolatey oak component is apparent on the finish.  Winemaker Jimena Lopez previously was in charge of making red wines at Bodegas Norton.
