2. Sommelier Notes
Appearance: Deep ruby red color with intense garnet highlights. It displays dense legs and a brilliant appearance that denotes health and great vigor.
Nose: Complex aromatics that evolve beautifully in the glass. It shows initial notes of ripe black fruits (blackberry, blueberry) that give way to nuances of black pepper, dark cocoa, fine leather, and the herbaceous character of the Coahuila desert.
Palate: Robust entry with great presence. Its structure is firm yet with silky, well-integrated tannins. The finish is very persistent, balancing the natural acidity of the high altitude with spicy and fruity notes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Is this wine for immediate consumption or cellaring?
Punto Norte Blend 2022 is at an optimal moment for consumption, but its structure and acidity give it a cellaring potential of up to 5 years under proper storage conditions.

Although the winery maintains its blend under an artisanal profile, oak barrels are used that provide fine notes of cocoa, tobacco, and vanilla, always respecting the prominence of the black fruit.
