Don’t pre-judge this wine based on the name of the brand, as it turns out not to be anywhere near as tough as its moniker. Comprised of 85% Tempranillo and 15% Petite Sirah, it offers open, red-toned fruit with minimal oak, soft texture, and just a hint of fruity sweetness in the finish. A Platinum Award winner at the 2018 San Diego International Wine & Spirits Challenge.
