WINE OVERVIEW
Luis transforms the powerful Petit Verdot into a supple, elegant wine with depth and grace.
Tasting Notes
Aromas of mulberry, wildflower, pickled cherry, forest floor, and cold charcoal. The dark, meaty palate has notes of minerality and wild spices driven by silky tannins. Good acidity on the finish.
Food Pairing
Try with pork spare ribs, barbequed steak, or aged cheeses.
