palate like a flood of sweet, fresh fruit and the viscous mouthfeel keeps the flavors
lingering for a while. The hints of baking spice and some oak keep the fruit flavors fresh
and lively. This is a wine that you’ll want to stack up in your wine rack (or closet) for any
occasion. Great all by itself or with all your favorite red wine foods like burgers, ribs,
lamb chops, and even pizza. About: This is the cocina or kitchen blend that marries the flavors of several growers into one delicious whole.

There's a creamy edge to the dark cherry and concentrated blueberry flavors in this ripe red, which shows lingering nuances of tar, mineral, mocha and espresso.

A blend of 60 percent Malbec with equal parts of Syrah and Bonarda, this has notes of violets and ripe cherries over an earthy minerality. While it's a middleweight, the tension in the structure gives this the power of a heavyweight boxer.

Aromas of toasty blueberry muffin with a supple, fruity-yet-dry medium-to-full body and a long, creme brulee, toffee and berry compote finish with dusty tannins. Wonderfully balanced and juicy; will be a hit with Latin beef.
