This Spanish red varietal is commanding attention. The fruit is from the Cuyama area of Santa Barbara County, a region gaining in reputation. Dark, opaque purple in the glass, our 2008 is a wine of depth showing a rich blackberry/spice character and a long velvety finish. Though intense, well structured and will age for years to come, the complexity is such that it is deceptively food friendly and enjoyable now. Serve with more flavorful dishes such as roast beef, herb crusted lamb, or cassoulet. SOLD OUT!
