Deep red color with violet tones, this blend is highly concentrated with substantial body and structure. �e nose displays aromas of blueberries, blackberries, chocolate, and spice. Sweet and so� tannins linger on a long �nish.

Rainfall - due to the El Niño phenomenon - heavily a�ected the growing season. �e overall average temperature was lower than previous years, provoking an unprecedented thirty-day delay in the vines’ phenolic ripening. Average precipitation in both January and February was above the historical average. Harvest was delayed three weeks, but at the time of picking the grapes presented good concentrarion as well as a marked natural acidity. Yields: 2.45 to 4.0 tons per acre.
