Ximena Pacheco is a veritable force of nature. Her passion for wine is unmatched and her ability to create sophisticated, heart-achingly beautiful wines that echo the classics while retaining a strong sense of individuality and a deep respect for the grape and the terroir. The wine displays both the power and broad shoulders of the grape as well as the timeless influence of the terroir. 

This single vineyard offering represents her commitment to the pulse running through the earth defined by granite and wind. This is almost worshipful and experiential in the glass, with a generous, complex bouquet of dark fruit, leather and exotic spice. The wine is inky but shows hints of its age. On the palate it is rich, structured and supple, with waves of red and black fruit and leather chased with a filigree of florality and spice.  

The finish is unbelievably long and silky with the wine developing even as it fades away, intensely complex and evocative, this wine is a no brainer with bistro fare, red meat and smokey eggplant dishes.
