      The bouquet of the wine is of apricot, melon and citrus. The combination of lime, herbs and minerals explode in the mouth -- this is amazing -- dry and juicy and concentrated yet refreshing. Wow, I bet this would be incredible with a fresh slab of pan-roasted red snapper topped with a squeeze of fresh lime juice.

      It reveals a fragrant bouquet of cedar and black currants. Fruit-driven, full-bodied, with tons of flavor, this Cabernet is an exceptional value.

This wine is quite fully extracted and complex for the price. It has black fruits with smoked meat and fennel in its ambiance. Mouth filling, yet smooth and well suited to roasted peppers or tomato based dishes or roasted meats and pasta with rich ragout.

      Dark windfall mulberries, fresh black cracked pepper, ripe plum, dark chocolate, and stewed nectarine. These fruit flavors evenly fill the palate with richness and fullness. Balanced acidity and soft velvety chewy tannins extended the persistence of the finish. This wine would be best served with grilled red meats and strong flavored cheeses.

      A beautiful red cherry color meets the eye. Intense, ripe red berries with a hint of chocolate and exotic spices. It is a full bodied red to be sure made from 100% Tempranillo (locally called Tinto Fino). It shows round firm tannins that are balanced, dark fruits with a hint of orange zest. A long firm finish ensues with more spice and warm minerals. Elegant and supple to be enjoyed now with grilled meats, roasted baby pig is the local specialty, dry cheeses like Manchego, and Mahon.
