TRANQUILLO
gourmet pairings
Tryit right now with a simply
seasoned oak grilled prime
ribeye steak, or wait a few
years to enjoy its added
complexity with the layered
flavors of slowly braised lamb
shanks.
tasting notes
Dark ruby purple core with a black hue, lighter at the rim and
more ruby in color. Moderate plus viscosity with moderate
tearing and light staining on the glass.
winemaker's insight
Dry and full bodied, layered with red and black cherry, cassis and
complex baking spice on the entry. Sweet tobacco and classic
savory pencil-like notes of cedar and graphite with a little cocoa
emerge on the crisp mid-palate with firm chewy tannins lasting
into a long, complex finish that shows a parade of fruit and spice
balanced with constantly evolving textures and savory notes.

11% Merlot
