The Character

Overall A big bold red blend with elegance and structure

Aromas Bright red and dark fruits, tobacco leaf, dark chocolate, vanilla and espresso bean.

Mouthfeel Full bodied and generous without being overbearing

Tasting Notes A blend you wouldn’t find anywhere else in the world, it just works here. Both Nebbiolo and Tempranillo present so diﬀerently in North Baja than they do in their respective homelands that a blend like this has to be tried to be believed. Bold and structured but with a tannin management that makes it accessible in its youth, this is a wine that can be consumed right out of the gate or aged for a decade or more. In 2022 there were several major heat waves that caused the loss of a significant amount of fruit, and while yields were less than half of what they typically are, the quality here is fantastic.

Selling Point Organic farming, estate grown, bold but balanced, unique

Pairings Red meats, fatty steaks and pork dishes, moles, and stews.

Sustainability Green Practicing, Sustainable In Practice

The Story

Dubbed the "crazy blend' by the winery since it's a creation they came up with that's found nowhere else in the world, this is a great example of the region's ability to think outside the box and find new combinations in light of unique expressions of grapes that express differently here than anywhere else on the planet. A blend so unique that it simply needs to be tried to be understood, this has become on of the most popular reds in their impressive lineup.
