“This south-facing site in Los Alamos is oriented to reach ripeness in every vintage. Rocky loam / calcareous terrain is a blueprint for chiseled-structured wines. Graciano's fruit forward tendencies, Portico Hills grippy terroir, and 2019's generous presence of acidity gives this wine a sense of prudence. Inky purple as always, blackberry bramble, and silky taught tannins. Early elegance in its confident posture - its most desirable traits will be there for those who wait.”
