Tasting notes on the wine:
"This red blend is an easy-to-drink, medium-bodied beauty with notes of berries, soft tannin, and fresh acidity. It’s crisp with a longing finish." - Tamy Rofe
About the winemaker:
"Villalobos is fully a family project run by artist Enrique Villalobos (his paintings outfit the bottles) along with his wife Rita Encina (a professional ceramist) and their sons Martin, Alejandro, and Rolando. Their estate is made of entirely untrained and ungrafted vines that were planted as early as the 1940s." — Tamy Rofe
