sweet cherry • tobacco • plum

Montepulciano is an Italian varietal being grown in New Mexico, so our inspiration for this wine was to find a harmonious balance of modern winemaking techniques with the traditions of Old World winemaking. With only gentle modern intervention this wine celebrates the natural characteristics of the Montepulciano varietal. Bursting aromas of sweet cherry and smoky tobacco immediately meet the nose as full plum and cranberry flavors balance at the mid palate. Acidic dark fruit met with an herbaceous essence encapsulates the complex flavor at the finish.
