The 2008 Venta Morales is a phenomenal value. Sourced from a 32-year-old vineyard with tiny yields of two tons per acre, the wine was fermented and raised in stainless steel. It reveals a remarkably deep color for its humble price, fragrant black cherry aromas, ripe, round, savory fruit on the palate, and excellent depth and length. It over-delivers in a very big way.

Glass-staining purple. High-pitched aromas of red berries and cherry, with a peppery quality gaining strength with air. Deeper dark fruit qualities on the palate, with a hint of bitter chocolate adding a serious note. The finish is zesty and focused, with good cut to its red and dark berry qualities. This is an outstanding value.
