winemaker's notes:

Color: Intense ruby, with the crimsons prevailing over a clean, bright, background, attesting to the wine's youth. The glass is inundated with legs suggesting alcoholic strength and an oily palate.

Aroma: The initial nose is dominated by the best of the new oak: hints of toast on a spicy background. The fruitiness lurks just beneath the wood, reminiscent of ripe blackberries delicately combined with suggestions of raspberry and cranberry.

Taste: Moderate acidity, fostering the splendor of a rounded wine, excellently structured on sweet tannins and the characteristic velvety nature of the tempranillo, which give rise to an initial smoothness and elegant and lingering finish.

Serving suggestions: This wine is ideally served at room temperature to accompany pork and beef, as well as rice and vegetable dishes and various semi-soft cheeses.

I would buy this wine again

I got this wine in my first wine club shipment and it remains my favorite wine. Very smooth flavor. I enjoyed drinking it by itself and with various foods (including Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners).

Kosher wine
Kosher
A Kosher wine begins like every other - as grapes on a vine. Once they reach the winery for crushing, the wine is under strict rabbinal supervision.

Screw Cap wine
Screw Cap
Many studies report and winemakers agree that screw caps protect wine better and preserve its flavor more effectively than cork. More importantly, screw caps eliminate cork taint caused by TCA, a compound which develops in a small percentage of corks and ruins the taste of wine.
