Dark purple. An exotically perfumed bouquet evokes dark berries, cola and candied flowers. Plush and invitingly sweet, displaying good heft to its concentrated boysenberry, lavender pastille and cherry-cola flavors; zesty acidity contributes spine and lift. Shows real depth and power but comes off as lithe, with a bright minerally quality adding cut. Fine-grained tannins add grip to the very long, penetrating finish, with the blue fruit and floral notes echoing. This wine was fermented in stainless steel tanks and aged in used French and American oak barrels.
The grapes for this wine come from a vineyard that was planted
between 1975 and 1985 called El Carril. The soils are alluvial with a
mixture of clay, sand, and gravel.
Tineta was fermented in stainless steel and then transferred and aged
into 3-year-old barrels for 7 months.
