"A sophisticated and complex red with blackberries, blueberries, sea shells, terra cotta, crushed stone and sea salt. Medium-bodied, savory and juicy on the palate with a creamy yet firm texture. Opens and softens in the end. Drink now or hold."

"With fragrant, fresh red fruit and graceful floral notes, this is a beautiful wine with which to begin to understand the top wines of Altos Las Hormigas and their delicate hand in Paraje Altamira terroir. There's an undercurrent of wild herbs and spices, with a sanguine edge and graphite-like tannins on the finish. (AB)"
