Tasting Notes The only red blend made from this organic certified estate, this vintage is composed of almost half Cabernet Sauvignon. The generous structure of the Cabernet leads the way in this vintage in a wine that is perhaps a bit more serious than in vintages past with more structure for aging but not so much that it will leave the hedonists out there wanting. All of the layers of complexity unfold willingly as a desert flower in the spring leaving you thirsty for more after each sip. Since the wine never sees aging in oak barrels, you get to see the quality of fruit here, what a lovely display it is.
Selling Point Organic farmed, small batch, fresh light, and fruit forward

The Story
The entry level red from the Carrodilla estate that over delivers vintage after vintage. Without any barrel aging, this wine remains fresh and fruit-forward with a palate that is intended to delight rather than overwhelm. As the estate was born with a biodynamic orientation, all of its labels refer to an element of cosmic design, and in this case the name translates to "song of the moon" and refers to the influence of the moon the vines and soils.
