"A sublime expression of the Altiplano Potosino terroir. Meticulously crafted by the prestigious Pozo de Luna winery in Soledad de Graciano Sánchez, this single-varietal Merlot captivates with its deep varietal profile and impeccable 14-month aging in French and American oak barrels. With a beautiful deep ruby red color, it unfolds a refined aromatic complexity on the nose, dominated by black plum, ripe cherry, currant, and subtle nuances of vanilla, cocoa, black pepper, and balsamic notes. On the palate, it is round, enveloping, and dry in character, offering polished tannins, lively acidity, and an elegant, prolonged finish."
