Giovanni Manetti says that 2011 resulted in some dried berries on the clusters that had to be removed by hand on the sorting table

Finca Allende, Mingortiz Size:6x750ml star anise(all new French oak) Limpid violet color. Smoke accented red berries, cherry pie, incense and mocha aromas show impressive clarity and spicy lift. Offers expansive, palate staining red fruit preserve and vanilla. Floral pastille flavors flesh out steadily on the back half. The floral note carries through a very long, lively finish that's given shape by gentle, harmonious tannins. Josh Raynolds
