The aromatics evolve in the glass to reveal complex, savory nuances of Mexican chocolate, native potpourri, fresh mushroom, and leather. On the palate, a soft, fresh entrance gives way to a juicy core of bright red and black fruit. It builds gracefully, revealing dusty, powdery tannins that drive the wine to a delightfully dry, lingering finish infused with native botanicals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- SERVING SUGGESTION --\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px;\"\u003eServing Suggestion\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"color: #444444; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.7; margin-bottom: 30px; padding-left: 20px;\"\u003e\n    \u003cli style=\"margin-bottom: 8px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Serve slightly cool at 60-64°F (16-18°C) in a standard Bordeaux glass to focus its savory and fruity aromatics.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli style=\"margin-bottom: 8px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDecanting:\u003c\/strong\u003e No decanting necessary; this wine is built for immediate, accessible enjoyment.
