Wine Spectator, 96 Points 

"Lovely cherry, raspberry and floral aromas and flavors are at the heart of this graceful red. Vibrant and elegant, with well-integrated tannins and a long, supple, mineral-tinged finish. This should be really charming in about 5 to 6 years. Best from 2025 through 2043." 

James Suckling, 95 Points 

"Aromas of black cherries and citrus with some graphite and smoke. Medium-bodied with firm, juicy tannins that are chewy now, but will soften with age. Racy and long at the end. From organically grown grapes. Better after 2024." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"The Coltassala has a vivid ruby color. This is a well-structured, complex wine with an elegant nose and hints of vanilla, cacao and fruit." 

Alcohol: 14.5%
