Artisan Vineyard Notes
Characteristics: Tres Picos Borsao is cherry red in colour with a hint of purple tones. In the nose, there is a bouquet of mature red fruits with traces of flowers that are typical of the best Garnachas. In the mouth, it is rich and well-structured simultaneously conveying flavours of blackberries, strawberries and tones of leather, vanilla and plums. Sweet and pleasant tannin, Tres Picos Borsao leaves us with a long, silky and balanced finish. 100% Garnacha. - Winemaker
The grapes come from vineyards that are between 35 and 40 years old. Located on uneven terrain at an altitude of 600 to 700 metres, these vineyards yield under four and a half tons of grape per hectare.

Expert Review
91 Point - "100% Garnacha old vines in which 50% was aged in tank and 50% in French oak for 10 months. It gives up a compelling nose of black cherry fruit that jumps from the glass along with earth and mineral notes. Plush on the palate bordering on voluptuous, this pleasure bent, full flavored effort will drink well for another 3-4 years although few will be able to resist its charms for that long"
- Wine Review by The Wine Advocate, Issue 188
89 Points -"This modern red offers opulent ripe blackberry and currant fruit framed by toast and cola notes, with a plush texture that remains lively, thanks to well-integrated tannins and good acidity. Drink now through 2014."
