On the Nose: Our inaugural single vineyard designate from Loeza Vineyard offers a sweet and savory aromatic profile of juniper, black cherry, brown sugar and vanilla.
On the Palate: Its medium body, fresh acidity and present tannins balance flavors reminiscent of cranberry, dried blueberry and black olive.
Food Pairing: This wine pairs well with grilled meats and slightly spicy sauces such as Sicilian-style swordfish with tomatoes and olives, pork chops and tenderloin.
