Winemaker's Notes

The backbone of this blend is Tempranillo, sourced from Mirasol Vineyards in the Texas Hill Country, which provides a strong tannin and structural foundation. By blending Tempranillo with Primitivo, Dolcetto, Pinot Noir, and Mourvèdre, the wine achieves a harmonious balance of fruitiness, spice, and structure. The inclusion of off-dry Primitivo lends a subtle sweetness that balances the tannins and adds to the wine's overall appeal.
