This is terrific. The 2018 is wonderfully dynamic in the glass, revealing myriad shades of complexity over time. It's a deceptively understated wine with a ton to offer.
Inviting and seductive nose of sour cherry, cranberry and plum. The palate is subtle and sophisticated with well-concentrated fruit, fresh acidity, and integrated tannins with a persistent finish.
Everything about this wine makes sense. Tight, deep and long finish. A very appropriate meaty touch and herbal background with wild red fruit. Lots of fun and a fresh Bobal wonder.

There's some oak in the nose here, spicy and faintly smoky, a serious profile, with big bones, a medium to full-bodied palate and abundant tannins that need time in bottle to be resolved.

On the palate this is chalky and vertical, and there isn’t much fruit, which doesn’t bring fullness. This is a classy, tense, stony wine that’s structured and melted. Amazing value for the money.
