Lurid ruby. Highly expressive red and blue fruit aromas display excellent delineation and pick up floral and exotic spice nuances with aeration. Juicy and vibrant on the palate, offering sweet boysenberry and bitter cherry flavors that show strong tension, underscored by a vein of smoky minerality. Delivers outstanding delineation and spicy fruit thrust on the impressively long, floral-driven finish, which is given shape by smooth, harmonious tannins. Aged in a combination of new and used French oak barrels.

A little more classical and varietal than the super floral Finca Luna Beberide but also showing how good 2018 has been at this address, the 2018 Art combines the textbook notes of licorice, wild berries, plants and flowers with a deft touch of spices and smoke. This comes from very old vines and matured in barrique for 14 months, yet the oak does not play a role in the aromatics or flavors—it feels completely integrated and neatly folded into the fruit. 12,500 bottles produced. It was bottled in March 2020
