Vega Sicilia Pintia Toro 2017

The 2017 Pintia is rich and velvety with a bountiful portion of dark fruit and notes of deep cocoa reminiscent of favorite Napa Cabernet blends from 2016 or 2018. The delightful mix of black and red fruit delivered pleasure now with a creamy + satisfying finish that reminded us of walnut brownies. Best ever Pintia?
