El Nido Red / 750mL

A savory hint of grilled meat and mesquite smoke on the nose transitions to underscore flavors of ripe black and red currant, dried mint and thyme on the palate of this powerful red. Rich and full-throttle, but not overly weighty, animated by lively acidity and a touch of iron-laced minerality. Ends with a firm, well-spiced finish. Cabernet Sauvignon and Monastrell.
