Wine Enthusiast Review
Rated 91
Crisp blackberry aromas meet with a strong earthy streak of muddy soil on the nose of this bottling. Rounded flavors of mulberry, blistered red plum and dried flower petals arise on the sip, where a fine-tuned acidity is ever-present but not overdone.

Wine Tasting Notes
The wine has a brilliant dark ruby color. The aroma has the classic characteristics of Fe Ciega Vineyard: intense and forward aromas of black cherries, sage and black tea. On the palate, the wine is rich with a taut texture before allowing the flavors of black cherries, herbs and spices to come forth. The combination of silky tannins and strong acidity give the wine a slight puckering sensation, which makes this wine an excellent accompaniment to rich foods.
