TASTING NOTE: Sourced from vineyards that are over 30 years old, the expresiones series is styled specifically with an eye to emphasizing terroir. This is a balanced, smooth and fruit-forward wine with lots of spice and dusty tannins. Touches of eucalyptus add even more depth. This will be a fine match for braised beef.
