Acclaim
“Deep, almost brooding blackberries, blueberries, black plum, cigar box and dark chocolate on the nose, but still a certain freshness carries through. Lush, dense fruit continues on the palate but notes of top soil and pepper maintain a lively spiciness picked up and elevated by the heat through the finish. The iconic satin tannins of Tua Rita deliver a mouthfeel somewhere between crème brulee and clouds.” — Wine Enthusiast, Mar 2024
“Complex, this red features generous black currant, blackberry and violet flavors wrapped in a cloak of spicy new oak. Deftly balanced and supple in texture, with a vibrant feel to the long, resonant aftertaste.”
— Wine Spectator, Oct 2023
