Made from grapes selected from our best parcels of land, comprised of mineral soils at altitude of over 3000 feet. Due to their height, these vineyards experience high diurnal shifts between day and nights in the summer which allows for the slow, even ripening of grapes and contributes to their high concentration of both color and tannin. Our Crianza ages for 16 months in French (60%) and American (40%) oak barrels. During this process the wine is carefully monitored in conditions of low light and controlled humidity. Midway through the aging process the wine is racked and returned to barrel. It ages another 10 months in bottle before release.
Red cherry color tints with violet hues. On the nose the wine exhibits intense and complex aromas of nature black fruits, cocoa and balsamic notes. On the palate the wine is round with an expressive and powerful finish.
