Burgundy color with grenate hues. Discrete and elegant nose, with notes of violet, black cherry, flower honey, caramel, liquorice.

The smooth and polished tannin denotes the classicism of a fine work of Cabernet Sauvignon and Tempranillo. - Serving temperature: 62-66 ̊F.
Vineyard Notes
Valle de la Grulla. Located south of Ensenada 20 miles from the Pacific Ocean. Valle de La Grulla offers ideal climatic conditions for the making of fine, fresh ageing wines. With sometimes more than 50°F variations between day and night, phenolic ripening is perfectly obtained. The terroir and water quality is exceptional and all of the grapes are supplied from our own vineyard.
Production Notes
Cold pre-fermentation maceration for 5 days at 41 ̊F to enhance varietal aromas. Fermented in stainless steel tanks at low temperatures with 2 daily remontages per day. 10-15 days post- fermentation maceration at 75 ̊F for a balanced tanin extraction. For this label we select only the best grapes of the vintage, because of this, the varietals in the blend will vary depending on the particularities of the year.
