"The 100% Graciano cuvée, the 2014 Graciano shows more structure and an elegant, bluer-fruit style, with high, lifted and fragrant notes of spring flowers, black cherry and blackberry. It is soft, stylish, lush and interesting. Drink it over the next several years."

"(aged for a year in new and used American oak barrels) Dark ruby. Ripe dark berries, licorice and vanilla on the nose, along with a subtle floral overtone. Sweet and broad on the palate, offering plush blackberry and cherry-vanilla flavors that are given spine by juicy acidity. Rich and fleshy in style, delivering solid closing thrust, good persistence and slow-building, harmonious tannins. - Josh Raynolds"
"If you were to macerate strawberries and rose petals, you might get something that smells like this wine. Add new oak to that, as well as graciano’s edgy acidity, and you get a bright, intense red wine desperately seeking morcilla."
"Aromas of macerated plums and red fruits. The palate brings grainy tannins and a leathery, savory twist. Finishes well. "
