TASTING NOTE: This wine, Saurus, is so named because the fossils of a dinosaur - specifically, a specimen belonging to the Titanosauridae family - was found at the winery site during its construction. Forty percent of the wine is matured in oak, bringing dark chocolate undertones to a core of fresh berry and dark cherry. Elegant, with good balance and structure. Pair with roast beef or duck.
