"A new addition to the portfolio, the 2021 Graciano comes from the La Pared Vineyard and is all varietal. It has a deep purple hue as well as a pure, incredibly intense nose of ripe blue fruits, white pepper, cedarwood, and liquid violets. These carry to a serious, full-bodied Graciano with a concentrated, powerful mouthfeel, high yet miraculously integrated acidity, and ripe tannins. It's a singular, incredibly impressive red from this team."

"The creamy, cedary oak has seeped into the minty blackberry and blue fruit, with deep notes of cocoa powder and tar. Restrainedly plush and flavorful, with a concentrated and full-bodied palate. Dense and silky with a little warmth in the finish. Drink or hold."
